Associate of Science (A.S.)
Purpose
This program is intended to provide
the student with a general course of study that parallels the freshman and
sophomore years at most colleges and universities and prepares the
student for a baccalaureate degree program in K-6. Students who wish to complete this program will be required to pass the PRAXIS I test prior to transferring to the four- year institution. Students holding the A.S. degree will have junior standing and will be considered to have met all lower-division general education requirements at most four-year colleges and universities. Note that special education, physical
education, health, art and music
education majors must follow a different curriculum as determined by each transfer institution. Specific
elementary teacher education
requirements vary at senior institutions, however, and students should consult with senior institutions for additional guidance regarding pre- teacher preparation.
admission Requirements
and special Conditions
A high school diploma (or equivalent) and satisfactory
scores on college placement tests
(or equivalent) in English and mathematics are required. If students have deficiencies in English and/or mathematics, JTCC offers
developmental courses to prepare
students for the curriculum. Students who register in this program need to know which four-year college/
university they plan to attend so they can select the most appropriate
courses in areas where there are choices.
