Student Notices
The Associate of Arts (A.A.) in Teacher Education is designed for students entering secondary education fields not covered by the A.A.T. Students planning to major in middle school (4-8th grade) as well as physical education, music, health, and art (Pre-K-12th grade) are encouraged to meet with the Education Program Director.
Although the successful completion of a pre-professional basic skills test (e.g. SAT, ACT, Praxis Core) established by the Maryland State Department of Education is not a degree requirement, students are encouraged to complete the basic skills assessment once general education requirements in English, math and reading (if applicable) are satisfied. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that qualified test scores are sent to MSDE and the selected transfer colleges/universities. Students are encouraged to earn a minimum grade of C in all A.A. Teacher Education course requirements and work with an Education Program Director to ensure a smooth transfer.
* Students must be in good academic standing in order to participate in field experiences (EDUC 121 , EDUC 126 , and EDUC 131 ); one field experience allowed each term.
