Curriculum Guides
Curriculum Guides are suggested courses of study which may include more or less
than the RSCC degree requirements. They are not intended to represent requirements
for any particular college or university. Students should consult articulation agreements,
the catalog of the school to which they intend to transfer, and their advisor for
specific degree requirements. Actual RSCC degree requirements appear on page 93.
Early Childhood Education Degree: Associate of Science
The early childhood education curriculum is designed for students who wish to
complete the first two years of a program toward teacher certification. This curriculum
will meet the lower division requirements for transfer to a senior institution granting
the bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. Due to varying requirements at four
year institutions, students are encouraged to select courses in consultation with an education
advisor.
