Teacher Education
Prepare to become an elementary, secondary or special education cross-categorical or learning disabilities school teacher.
Students who plan to teach in elementary school should pursue the Elementary Education Associate of Arts degree; those who wish to teach secondary school should pursue an Associate of Arts. All students will need to complete an education degree at a 4-year college or university before becoming a teacher.
Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree can immediately start working toward teacher certification. Students who have teaching certificates may take endorsement programs.
