Create Liberal Arts AA and AS Teaching Careers degrees



Initiative TitleCreate Liberal Arts AA and AS Teaching Careers degrees
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleThere is no AA/AS degree with a specific focus on Teaching Careers. Currently, the generic transfer degree(s) may list "Foundations of Education" as an interest area, but this is not an optimal avenue for the most appropriate courses to be taken. None of the Education courses at this point are considered Liberal Arts electives, so any EDU courses a student takes are limited to the 9 (AA) or 12(AS) "free" electives.
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedStudents interested in teaching careers would continue to be offered generic degree sequences, possibly missing more appropriately focused education courses. A specifically designed degree with teaching careers as a designation would provide applicable course work, and potentially related field work, to those pursuing careers in the teaching arena.
