Advising Notes
This transfer program is intended for students who would like a career in education, focusing on teaching and working with PK-2nd grade children in public school settings.
The recommended courses listed above are designed upon degree completion to enable a student to be eligible to transfer to a four year college or university to pursue a PK-2nd grade program, leading to preparation for PK-2nd grade licensure to teach in PK-2nd grade in public school settings. Check your receiving institution to determine best credit options.
Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.
Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.
If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.
Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.
Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.
All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
