AS in Pre-Elementary Education

The UC Clermont Pre-Elementary program is designed for those interested in becoming a teacher of children in kindergarten through 5th grade. As an aspiring early childhood teacher, this program will help you understand the complex human and social factors involved in educating young children, as well as practices that support diversity and build a foundation for lifelong learning. A bachelor’s degree in education is the minimum requirement to become a teacher. As an associate degree program, UC Clermont offers freshman and sophomore coursework with the expectation that students will transfer to Northern Kentucky University to complete their preparation and earn a bachelor’s degree.

This program is open to all students with a high school diploma or GED and the desire to succeed in college. Although admission is open, students accepted into the program must meet the academic standards of the program to advance to upper levels of study.
