Elementary Education Transfer Program (EE)

The Elementary Education Program prepares students for careers teaching and working with elementary school children in public school settings. Students build knowledge and applied skills through liberal arts and sciences coursework and courses relating directly to the experience of working with elementary school children. Graduates of the program will move directly into the career field as paraeducators/teacher aides or they can transfer after graduation into four-year college teacher preparation programs where they will complete the requirements for elementary education teacher licensure to teach in first through sixth grade public school settings.
