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.
