The purpose of the Associate of Arts degree program in Teacher Education is to prepare students to transfer to secondary and special content programs not covered by the A.A.T. including middle school (4th-8th grade), secondary social studies (7th-12th grade), and physical education, music, and art (Pre-K-12th grade). Through student-centered instruction, advising, service learning opportunities, and classroom field placements, graduates are well prepared to enter a baccalaureate program. Students leave the program with a wealth of experience and understanding of professionalism as well as the rewards and challenges of teaching in a diverse society.

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 and math 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.

Diversity requirement: take ENGL 102  and an additional Diversity General Education  course.

An Associate of Arts degree requires a minimum of 12 credits of 200-level courses.
