Purpose

The Education program transfers to a four-year college or university for students planning a teaching career. Requirements of four-year colleges vary greatly, and individual programs need to be coordinated with the institution to which the prospective teacher plans to transfer. Future teachers should also seriously consider involvement in music, art, or drama activities. Elementary Education majors should take MATH& 131 and ENGL 115. See your advisor for additional information.
