Liberal Arts & Sciences: Education Option; AS

In accordance with New Jersey State guidelines and the requirements of many four-year colleges, students who plan to enter the field of education should engage in a broad-based liberal arts curriculum during their freshmen and sophomore years. Students in this program will also study (1) the historical and philosophical foundations of education and (2) the application of psychological theories to educational practices. Students are advised to select academic courses which will coincide with the subject matter they intend to teach. All students should become familiar with the college catalog of the intended transfer institution. Graduates of this program customarily transfer to baccalaureate institutions. Graduates not immediately pursuing an additional degree are eligible to substitute teach in New Jersey schools.
