Education Transfer Degree Program
The Education program at Coffeyville Community College is designed for students who intend to transfer to a four-year college and university degree program. The Associate in Arts Degree is the most appropriate degree option for most education majors.
Education students must complete a bachelor's degree with state certification in elementary or secondary education. Students may begin their program of study at the community college with courses which will transfer to four-year institutions. Classes should be chosen with both a student's minor and a specific transfer institution in mind. Education students are encouraged to take the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) while attending the community college.
Student should check with advisor for specific course requirements at transfer institution. The specific classes taken by the education major will largely depend upon the requirements of their intended transfer college/ university. Education majors are encouraged to decide early on transfer institution.
