Teacher Education Transfer A.S.
The mission of the Teacher Education Transfer A.S. program is to assist in the preparation
of highly qualified, trained professionals for public service in the field of education.
The program will prepare students for transfer and eventual licensure by providing
a solid liberal arts foundation and pre-professional courses.
The Teacher Education Transfer A.S. curriculum is designed for students who want to transfer to a teacher education program at a four-year college or university. The program serves those interested in teaching in a public pre-school through high school setting. The curriculum is compliant with all SUNY and New York State Education Department (SED) requirements for transfer to a baccalaureate program leading to teacher certification.
