This pathway is designed to meet Associate in Arts degree requirements with a concentration in Education. This pre-major pathway prepares you to transfer at the junior level to a four-year college to earn a bachelor's degree in education, elementary education, early childhood education, or a related field. Educators ask questions such as: How do classroom dynamics impact learning? Are there new ways to engage students? Do learning styles affect test scores? If you enjoy working with children and want to nurture their growth and development, this pathway could be for you. Education is one of those professions that is as much a calling as a career. Few jobs offer the opportunity to have such a significant, positive impact on others. After all, who doesn’t have a favorite teacher (or two or three) that influenced their lives? Fast-moving and always changing, the field of education is best suited for someone who welcomes challenges and looks for variety in their work. An educator’s job never stops; you can never truly know where your influence on others will begin or end and choosing this as a career means that you are dedicated to continually helping others grow intellectually and socially. In this pathway, you’ll complete the requirements to transfer at the junior-level into an education program at a four-year college or university. You’ll also gain general content knowledge in subjects you may later choose to teach such as English, mathematics, history, economics, physical science, life science and the arts. Whether you want to become a K-12 teacher, own/operate a childcare center or family childcare home, work with school-age children, or serve as a family support specialist, this pathway will help provide the preparation you need to pursue a rewarding career in education.
