This Associate in Applied Science-T (AAS-T) in Early Childhood Education 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 of 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 review specific admission requirements.
Credit/Grade Requirements The AAS-T degree is awarded upon completion of 90 credits of General Education Requirements, Distribution Requirements, and Early Childhood Education Requirements outlined on the program requirement sheet. Students must earn at least 30 college-level (100 level or above) credits at Edmonds Community College. Students are required to maintain a cumulative minimum grade point of 2.0 for all applicable course work to complete the Associate in Applied Science-T degree.
Cultural Diversity Requirement All students earning degrees and certificates of 45 credits or more must meet a cultural diversity (CD) requirement by completing courses marked as “CD” on the requirement sheet and/or “Meets Cultural Diversity Requirement” in the quarterly class schedule. Those courses may also be used to fulfill other requirements of the degree or certificate.
Graduation Application A completed Graduation Application form must be submitted to Enrollment Services by the 10th day of the quarter in which the student expects to graduate. Forms are available online or at Enrollment Services located in Lynnwood Hall.
Students are advised to:
- Plan their schedule several quarters in advance in order to accommodate courses that are offered only once or twice a year,
- Review the college catalog for required course prerequisites and include these in schedule planning, and
- Communicate with a faculty adviser.
