PGM Code - 402U
Program Description The Early Childhood Education Associate in Applied Science-T (AAS-T) Degree is a professional technical degree with a core of general education courses commonly accepted in university level transfer programs. The degree is designed to prepare graduates to enter into employment in early childhood (infancy to prekindergarten) program settings, but also provide some transferable credits should a student pursue a four-year degree at a later point.
Students seeking to transfer to degree programs other than those specifically designed for the AAS-T should consider the Associate in Arts Degree, which is specifically designed for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. All students who intend to transfer should meet with an adviser of the college they plan to transfer to, to review specific admission requirements.
