The Associate in Science Teacher Preparation degree is designed for students to take courses at the community college and transfer to a four-year college/university for completion of their Bachelor’s degree. The ASTP degree is geared toward students pursuing a career in K-6 Education or specializing in Inclusivity in Education. The program of study includes thirty-one (31) semester hours of Universal General Education Transfer Component Courses (UGETC) as follows:
| Communication (3) | Mathematics (8) |
| English Composition (6) | Natural Sciences (8) |
| Humanities/Fine Arts (3) | Social/Behavioral Sciences (3) |
Students should consult with the institution(s) to which they would like to transfer for academic course selection guidance. Meeting with MCC faculty advisors and taking ACA 122: College Transfer Success will be instrumental as well as the development of a successful transfer plan.
