ACADEMIC PLAN: 624
CIP CODE: 24.0101
AWARD: Associate of Arts & Sciences
LENGTH: 2 Years
Purpose:
The emphasis on quality education in Virginia has created a demand for teachers to help provide leadership for schools. The Associate of Arts and Sciences degree in Education is designed for persons who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a baccalaureate degree program that leads to teacher certification. As requirements of four-year institutions may vary, students should work closely with CVCC counselors and advisors to prepare their community college degree program to meet the requirements at the four-year college or university to which they will transfer. In addition, students should examine transfer guides of prospective colleges and universities and contact appropriate four-year institutions to inquire about the transferability of courses taken at CVCC.
Admissions Requirements:
Individuals are eligible for admission to CVCC if they are high school graduates or the equivalent, or if they are eighteen years of age or older and able to benefit academically from study at the community college, as demonstrated by assessment in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Program Requirements:
Students who wish to be licensed to teach in Virginia should consult with their Counselor or advisor regarding appropriate elective choices to match their desired teaching endorsement area(s). While enrolled at the community college, students should prepare for and successfully complete the Praxis I Test – the initial teacher licensure exam – before transfer. It is strongly recommended that students visit the Counseling Center for more information on the Praxis I Test and teacher licensure requirements. All students expected to complete the requirements for a degree, diploma, certificate, or career studies certificate must complete an Application for Graduation.
Courses:
The Program Pathway for Education AA&S is a tool for students that lists the following items:
- The recommended order in which to take the program courses
- Suggested course when more than one option exists
- Which semester each course is typically offered
- If the course has a prerequisite
