Students should consider carefully the requirements of possible transfer institutions as well as the required courses that will be necessary for certification by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Each student develops the associate degree program in consultation with an academic advisor. EDUC 101 must be scheduled. Teaching opportunities in environmental science, earth science, and many other fields of science offer rewarding careers for the student who desires to work with young people. Specialized training in the disciplines noted above is also essential for the highly trained elementary teacher.
Selected courses are also available at night.
The particular history courses chosen should be selected in consultation with a faculty advisor or counselor. See the description of the Liberal Arts-Social Sciences transfer program. Students must also take Social Science elective courses for a total of 15 credits, three credits of English Literature, and a Philosophy transfer elective course.
