The AA-T, Elementary Teacher Education: Integrated Programs, prepares students for elementary school teaching careers, grades K-5. Our preliminary degree provides students with interdisciplinary subject matter expertise as required for seamless transfer to a four-year university’s bachelor’s degree completion program in Liberal Studies and fulfills its lower-division requirements. Its introductory education course emphasizes equitable, culturally responsive pedagogy and teacher performance expectations, including professional teaching standards. In addition, students complete early fieldwork placements in our community, which allows future educators to observe active teaching and learning in today’s diverse classrooms. These authentic, contextualized learning opportunities are intentionally designed for undergraduate students interested in public service, through teaching careers in elementary schools, grades K-5.

The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing the AA-T are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.

To earn this Elementary Teacher Education AA-T degree, students must meet the following requirements:

  • Completion of the following major requirements with a minimum grade of "C" (or "P").
  • Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC), which requires a minimum of 34 units; and
  • Completion of a minimum 60 Cal-GETC transferrable semester units with a minimum “C”  grade required in each course. A “C” is defined as a minimum of 2.0 grade points on a 4.0  scale.

Students planning on transferring to a four-year institution and major in Elementary Teacher Education should consult with a counselor regarding the transfer process and lower division requirements.
