EDUCATION/ELEMENTARY ASSOCIATE OF ARTS IN TEACHING (ATT) PREPARATION FOR TRANSFER

The Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) program has been specifically designed for students who are majoring in elementary education (grades 1-8). The curriculum has been designed to provide the elementary education major a seamless, which is without loss of credit, transition to a Maryland four-year education program. The curriculum has been based on a coordination of National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education standards, cooperation with faculty from Maryland four-year institutions and modeling of the Maryland Higher Education Commission approved Associate of Arts curriculum form other Maryland two-year colleges.

Students transferring to four-year colleges or universities outside Maryland should work closely with their academic advisor to assess if the AAT Program or the Elementary Education Transfer Program better fulfills their needs. Education majors please note: most or substantially all four-year receiving institutions require that education majors receive a grade of "C" or better in all education classes that are to be considered for transfer of college credits. Due to the nature and extent of the specific requirements for teacher certification at all four-year institutions, it is essential that every elementary education major work in close cooperation with the academic advisor to plan the most appropriate and accurate program.

Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for an Associate of Arts in Teaching.
