Sample AA Degree Program Preparing for Bachelor's Degree in English Teacher Education

ENGED-AA

St. Petersburg College is dedicated to the task of assisting students toward their goal of achieving a college education.

During the first two years of college at St. Petersburg College, students secure a broad education in the area of English, Humanities, Social Science, Laboratory Science, Mathematics and Computers; in addition, they begin specialized work in their own particular fields of interest. It is the aim of SPC to provide quality instruction for transfer credit to senior institutions. The Associate in Arts degree program is intended for students planning to transfer to a public university or college to pursue Bachelor of Arts or certain Bachelor of Science degrees. The Associate in Arts degree requirements are designed to enable graduates to transfer at the junior level into B.A. as well as many B.S. degree programs at public universities and colleges in Florida and other states. The selection of elective courses should be based on information regarding requirements of the student's intended transfer institution and major field of study. This information may be obtained from counselors/advisors and the appropriate college catalogs.
