Associate in Arts in Teaching

Program Overview

The AAT program allows students to jumpstart their study of education
by offering education courses and field experiences in their freshman and sophomore
years. This allows students to make an earlier informed decision as to whether education
as a career is right for them. The AAT program embeds field experiences in most
pre-professional education courses, so students will learn about teaching in local
classrooms with experienced teachers.
