Purpose

This degree is intended to prepare students for Bachelor’s programs at the institutions listed above. Other college and university degree programs will accept very few of the Education credits in SVC’s AAS-T Education degree. Students seeking transfer to degree programs other than those specifically designed for the AAS-T in Education are urged to consider the AA-DTA-direct transfer degree.

Although this degree will be granted to SVC students completing a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA, entry into a baccalaureate program at a college or university will require a higher GPA for admission. Admission is competitive and not guaranteed; it is important to perform your best in all SVC college classes. Seeking out an advisor/counselor early in your studies is highly recommended.
