Program of Study
Students pursuing an Education concentration should select the following 12 hours in the concentration area, in addition to courses used to meet the general college degree requirements and the Ohio Transfer Module.
To make an informed selection of Arts & Humanities, Social Science, and Natural Science electives, Terra advises the transfer-intending student to consult the receiving institution to ensure maximum transferability and application of credits.
Since many four-year universities require a foreign language component, it is recommended that the student pursuing this degree consider up to 16 semester hours and competencies through the second year level in a foreign language. Students should contact their transfer institution to clarify their foreign language requirements.
Recommended science courses include 100-level environmental science, chemistry, and physics classes.
The transfer student should note that while this concentration is listing Education as the area in general, the state-wide Transfer Assurance Guides (TAG) include different specific advising recommendations depending on which TAG Education area is used. Specific TAGs for Education are the following: Professional Education Module; Professional Education Module for Intervention Specialist; Professional Education Module for Middle School Science; Professional Education Module for Middle School Math; Professional Education Module for AYA Science; and Professional Education Module for AYA Math. Students should meet with their advisors for further details.
All students graduating from Terra State Community College with an Associate degree of any kind will be functionally proficient in common computer operations and applications. Please see your academic advisor or academic division office for further details.
To determine when courses are scheduled, see program curriculum sheet which is available from the Enrollment Services office in Building A/Room 100, from the Liberal Arts and Public Services Division, Building A/Room 202.
