MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
The field of education gives you the opportunity to shape the minds of tomorrow’s adults, from teaching to child care and all areas in between. The Associate in Arts in Teaching (AAT) prepares you to transfer into an education degree program at a college or university, allowing you to complete your general education classes and teaching-specific courses before you transfer.
If early learning is more your style, the Associate in Applied Science in Early Childhood Development is the pathway for you. Train to lead a child care center or even work with children in preschools and Head Start programs.
With either degree, you will obtain the skills to become a lifelong learner. Train to be confident in providing safe, healthy learning environments; develop relationships with families and community groups; and learn effective approaches in teaching children.
THE CLASSES YOU’LL TAKE
Save time and money when creating your schedule. View your course sequence and determine how long your degree will take to finish. Talk to your advisor to map out a plan that works for you.
