Secondary Teacher Education, ASG3 Eligible Program- Qualifying students may have ZERO costs for tuition, fees, and textbooks.
PURPOSE: This two-year degree prepares students to transfer to a four-year college and major in education. Graduates have the intent to become a middle or high school English, history, social studies, or mathematics teacher. Note that this is a transfer degree that does not lead directly to teacher licensure. CREDENTIALS: An Associate of Science (AS) degree is a major related to an area such as business administration, engineering, science, and social sciences that takes 2 years for full time students to complete. Students receiving an AS degree intend to transfer to four-year colleges. TRANSFER INFORMATION: This program is aligned with the Transfer Virginia common curriculum for Education. Students should consult with their advisors to ensure that they select general electives that best prepare them for the specific requirements of their intended transfer college or university programs of study. More information can also be found at www.brightpoint.edu/academics/transfer/ and by using the Transfer Virginia Portal https://www.transfervirginia.org. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: Students must meet Brightpoint admission requirements. Students who register in this program need to know which four-year college/university they plan to attend so they can select the most appropriate courses in areas where there are choices. New students should work with their New Student Navigator to get ready for their first semester. They can also email getstarted@brightpoint.edu for assistance. Because transfer requirements will vary based upon the intended transfer institution, students must meet with their faculty advisor to develop a schedule that best suits their goals. For EDU 200 and EDU 204, students are required to pay for a background check if required by the school division of their field placement. PROGRAM OUTCOMES: By the completion of this program, students will be expected to demonstrate an intermediate level of competency in the following skills:

Total Minimum Credits to Complete: 60-62ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Pre-requisite and co-requisite requirements can be found in course details. Students are strongly encouraged to complete their ENG, MTH, and SDV requirements first. Students should regularly meet with their faculty advisor and check their degree progress by accessing advisement reports in the Student Information System (SIS) in the myBrightpoint portal or the Academic Planner in Navigate. Some transfer institutions/majors require that students have a foreign language proficiency through the 102, 201 or 202 level. Students who took 3 years of the same foreign language in high school may be exempt from or place out of 101-102. Native/fluent speakers may enroll directly into SPA 102 or FRE 102. Please check with your faculty advisor to determine if your transfer institution requires a foreign language and/or if you wish to take a language other than American Sign Language, Spanish or French. Students must complete a minimum of 60 credits to earn an associate degree. | |||
