Education-Option

Liberal Arts, Associate in Arts


Designed as a transfer program for students interested in teaching certification, this option maximizes transfer of credits and academic status to a professional teacher education program. However, the transfer requirements of the four-year college must be satisfied for admittance into that college and its teacher certification program.

To gain certification in New Jersey, students must complete a discipline major and a professional sequence of courses in education. For maximum transfer of credits, students should select a discipline major as soon as possible and schedule elective courses accordingly.

ACCC has a transfer agreement with the Richard Stockton College of NJ for Education majors specializing in chemistry, history, psychology, sociology, computer science, geography, English, life science, political science, economics, mathematics, physical science and liberal arts.

The department chairperson has specific course recommendations for each major. To ensure that the specific requirements of the transfer college are met, all students interested in this option should contact the department chairperson, Dr. Barbara Warner at (609)343-5031 or e-mail bwarner@atlantic.edu.
