New Associate of Science in Teacher Education Offered

RPCC will begin offering a new Associate of Teacher Education in the fall of 2007. The new degree is designed specifically for those students who wish to teach elementary students, grades 1-5. The degree is fully transferable to four-year colleges of education in Louisiana, enabling degree recipients to enter a four-year college of education program with half of their certifcation requirements completed, and all of the general education requirements met. While completing the degree, students will be required to take and pass two parts of the PRAXIS (teacher certification exam.)
