EDUCATION / SECONDARY

 

PREPARATION FOR TRANSFER
 

 

 

This transfer pattern is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university with a major in education but are uncertain as to the transfer institution. The courses included in this program closely parallel the first two years of an education major at many four-year institutions.

 

Please note: Allegany College of Maryland is in the application process for an Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) in Secondary Education. The AAT degree will facilitate the transfer process for Maryland students at two-year institutions who wish to complete their course of study at a Maryland four-year institution. The AAT curriculum and requirements will be substantively different than the curricula and requirements for the Secondary Education transfer program. Please consult your adviser or the Teacher Education Director for further information and curriculum planning.

 

This is a transfer program and is designed to enable students to transfer to a four-year college or university. Check with your advisor and the Student Support Center as soon as possible to ensure specific course transferability.

 

Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for an Associate in Science degree in Arts and Sciences.
