For students planning to enter secondary education, Carroll offers this program as the first two years of study. Alternative courses and selection of electives should be based on the requirements of the four-year college or university to which the student expects to transfer for the baccalaureate degree. Such selections must be made in consultation with education advisors at this college and after consideration of the requirements for graduation.
Students should note that there are critical needs in the areas of science, math, special education, foreign languages and technical education. Within the pattern which follows, students may design appropriate education programs to prepare for teaching in these critical need areas and such fields as art, general business, data processing, health science, industrial arts and office technology. By using the ARTSYS computer program, also available in the Advising and Counseling Center (A102), students can plan a course of study that will transfer to an upper division school of choice.
Although Praxis I is not a degree requirement, students are encouraged to take Praxis I (an assessment of reading, writing and math skills) once general education requirements in English, math and reading (if applicable) are satisfied or at the completion of 24 credit hours or present qualified scores on the SAT or ACT. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that qualified test scores are sent to Carroll' Records Office, MSDE, and the selected transfer colleges/universities. See page 107 in the College Catalog for information. Students are encouraged to earn a minimum grade of C in all A.A. Teacher Education course requirements to ensure a smooth transfer and work with an Education faculty adviser.
* Students must be in good academic standing in order to participate in field experiences; one field experience allowed each term.
