Elementary or Early Childhood Education, A.A. or A.S.

This plan of study was developed as a guideline for students who plan to transfer to an Alabama public four-year institution and pursue a degree in Elementary or Early Childhood Education. Students who plan to transfer to an out-of-state or private institution should consult that institution and plan their program of study in consultation with education faculty advisors and/or counselors. This program is available on the Sparks and Wallace Campuses. Upon completion of courses listed below, the transcript will reflect either an AA or AS degree without reference to the specific program of study.

 

NOTES

* Must complete a 6-semester-hour sequence in Literature or History.

* For Literature, Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Math, Social/Behavioral Sciences and Area V Electives: Some 4-year institutions require a specific course or courses in the indicated areas. Some courses may be applicable to a limited number of institutions. Print the STARS Guide and Area V page of your intended transfer institution for additional guidance because the colleges are very specific in their requirements to meet No Child Left Behind mandates. Transfer credits may not exceed 50% of those required for the 4-year degree.
