Elementary Education 1-5

The Associate of Science in Teaching (Grades 1-5) Transfer Agreement between the Louisiana Community and Technical College System and the Louisiana State University System, Southern University System, and University of Louisiana System has been created to ensure a smooth transition from a Board of Regents approved Associate of Science in Teaching (Grades 1-5) degree program at a regionally accredited public community college to a Board of Regents approved Bachelors of Science in Teaching (Grades 1-5) degree program at a regionally accredited four-year public institution.

All 60 credit hours in a Board of Regents approved Associate of Science in Teaching (Grades 1-5) degree program will meet the general education requirements if all Transfer Agreement Conditions have been met. The general education requirements include 12 hours of English/English Literature; 12 credit hours of mathematics; 15 credit hours of science (i.e., Biology, Earth Science, Physics, & Chemistry); 12 credit hours of Social Studies (i.e., History, Government, Geography, & Economics); and 3 credit hours of The Arts. In addition, 6 credit hours of education courses required in the Associate of Science in Teaching (Grades 1-5) degree program will meet the requirements of two education courses identified by the universities (e.g., Introduction to Education; Child Development;  Multicultural/Exceptional  Education; Educational Technology, etc.). All graduates of Associate of Science in Teaching (Grades 1-5) degree programs will be required to complete all remaining hours in the baccalaureate degree program (i.e., completion of 64 credit hours in a program that contains a total of 124 credit hours).
