The CCP College Transfer Pathway is a part of the Associate of Arts in Teacher Preparation Degree and is designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to take courses toward a baccalaureate degree in Education in a non-STEM subject area. Students may earn up to 48 credit hours towards a 60 credit hour Associate of Arts In Teacher Preparation Degree.
