The Education Department at Massasoit Community College houses a Liberal Arts Degree with an Elementary Education option.
Students who wish to become teachers of children in grades k through 6 can now begin their undergraduate work in the Elementary Education Program at Massasoit Community College. The Liberal Arts Studies- Elementary Education option is designed to allow students the opportunity to obtain an Associate in Science degree which meets the requirements of the Elementary Education Transfer Compact of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education. Students may then transfer to participating Massachusetts State Colleges or Universities as Elementary Education majors to continue preparation for classroom teaching. The Elementary Education page provides more information about the program and major.
Note: The LAS-Instructional Paraprofessional option is no longer accepting new students. Students currently enrolled in the degree option should meet with the department chair or Division Dean to discuss completion options.
The emphasis of this A.S. program is to provide the student with sufficient knowledge and skills to maintain employment upon graduation and is not specifically oriented towards transfer into a teacher training program. However, several courses may transfer to baccalaureate degree granting institutions. Interested students should seek additional information from the Education Department.
Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in the classroom are encouraged to contact a disability counselor as soon as possible. Students at the Brockton Campus with learning disabilities should contact Andrea Henry, at extension 1805. Students with physical disabilities at the Brockton Campus should contact Mary Berg, at extension 1425. All students at the Canton Campus should contact Mary Berg at extension 2132. |
