The Education curriculum was developed to meet the needs of current and
prospective students interested in transferring to a four-year institution for the
purpose of receiving a PA Public School Teacher’s Certification. Areas of certification
include early childhood education, elementary, secondary, special education, or
any combination of any of these two majors. Among colleges and universities
there are variances within the first two years at some schools contingent upon
the area of PA Public School Certification pursued. Additionally, each of these
areas of certification involves different course selections. All of these conditions
necessitate working closely with a transfer counselor in the Career and Counseling
Center to ensure a seamless transfer process to a four-year institution.
Upon successful completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
• Comprehend the practical aspects of education, including governance,
politics, funding, law, psychology, and philosophical and social effects.
