Foothill College

Students who complete the Associate in Arts in Elementary Teacher Education for Transfer degree will be ensured preferential transfer status to CSUs for Elementary Teacher Education/Liberal Studies majors. The degree requirements will fulfill the lower division major requirements at many CSUs. Students are advised, however, to meet with a counselor to assess the course requirements for specific local CSUs and to validate which CSUs are considered local. Students will display an understanding of elementary education and teaching, and will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of children's growth and development from utero through adolescence.Students will leave with a broad, liberal study background, which will help prepare them to teach in an elementary classroom.
