Advising Notes

This transfer program is intended for students who want to teach pre-kindergarten through grade 2 in a public school setting.

The recommended courses listed above are designed upon degree completion to enable a student to be eligible to transfer to a four year college or university in a teacher education program leading to preparation for the Massachusetts Early Childhood Education Initial Teacher Licensure. Check your receiving institution to determine best credit transfer options as well as MTEL Preparation workshops.

Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.

Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.

If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.

Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.

Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.

All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
