Teacher Preparation
Curriculum
The Teacher Preparation programs are designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university and pursue careers in education. Through Associate in Arts and Associate in Science pathways, students complete college transfer coursework while building a strong foundation in teaching, learning, communication, and child development. Coursework introduces students to classroom practices, literacy, diversity, and the role of educators in supporting student success.
Programs are aligned with North Carolina articulation agreements that support transfer to participating public and private colleges and universities. Community college graduates must obtain a grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.7 on a 4.0 scale in order to transfer with a junior status.
Graduates are prepared to pursue careers in elementary, middle grades, secondary, or special education settings.
