Education Associate in Arts (TEACH-AA)

This program serves students seeking a baccalaureate degree in education who plan to teach in preprimary, early childhood, elementary, middle grades, special education or related settings.

This program is the first two years of a four-year university program in teacher education. Students who want to teach/work in a high school setting (grades 9 through 12) should major in the appropriate content area.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution.

Two courses (EDF 1005 and EDF 2085) require service learning in a public school setting. Background checks may be required.
