The Teacher Education Program is designed for students who wish to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. The Teacher Education Program has three areas of concentration: early childhood (pre-kindergarten through third- grade), elementary education (first through sixth grade), and secondary education (seventh through twelfth grade). All education majors will be required to successfully complete the fingerprinting and criminal background-check process. Education majors should also note that education departments at most colleges or universities require a grade of "C" or better in education courses for credits to transfer to their education programs.
