PREPARATION FOR TRANSFER

 

 

This curriculum is specifically designed for students majoring in Elementary Education

(grades 1-6 and middle school) and transferring to Frostburg State University.

This curriculum has been designed in cooperation with officials at Frostburg State

University to satisfy the freshman and sophomore year requirements of this major.

Students interested in transferring to any other college or university, (other than

Frostburg), would be better served by the General Studies Curriculum or the

University Studies Curriculum.  Students majoring in secondary education would be

better served by the Secondary Education Curriculum.
