Program Description

JCC’s teacher education transfer degree programs provide students with knowledge, skills, theory, and hands-on educational experiences that will prepare them for transfer to a four-year institution with New York State teacher certification authority. Graduates will be able to transfer with full credit and junior status into participating SUNY four-year teacher education programs. Students will begin fulfilling their liberal arts specialization requirements along with courses in education theory and practice. Specialization areas include biology, chemistry, earth science, English, world language, general science, history/social studies, mathematics, and physics. This program is designed to prepare students for transfer to classroom teacher preparation programs in the areas of childhood education (grades 1-6) with middle school extension (grades 7-9 subject area) at four-year institutions with New York State teacher certification authority. Students who plan carefully can normally be expected to transfer to a four- year institution as juniors. The transfer institutions may have differing requirements. Students should plan their programs with a transfer counselor and an academic advisor as soon as possible and preferably before beginning their first semester at JCC.
