Education Associate in Arts (TEACH-AA)
Provides the first two years of baccalaureate program in teacher education. The program serves students who plan to teach in preprimary, early childhood, elementary, middle grades, special education or related settings. Students who want to teach in a high school setting (grades 9 through 12) should major in the appropriate content area.
Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College Education Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
Two courses, EDF 1005 and EDF 2085, require service learning in a public school setting. Background checks may be required.
