Each of our education programs includes 30 hours of clinical field experience and prepares you to transfer to a four-year university for a bachelor's degree.

    Over the course of my two years, I became involved in Student Council, the Student Center and worked in the Fine Arts and Education Department. I believe working there, as well as my instructional leaders who taught the education courses, helped start me on the path to success.
