Accelerated Elementary Education Degree

Associate in Arts

This fast-track program is designed for students who wish to ultimately earn a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Students who successfully complete this intense program of study will earn an university transfer associates degree in four semesters, with an option to take classes during the day or evening.

The A.A. degree requirements are fulfilled during days, evenings and weekends through the use of “hybrid” online instruction, learning communites and traditional instruction in the classroom. Offering courses in eight, twelve and sixteen-week session formats, the accelerated elementary education program allows students to complete their associate in arts degree 50 percent faster than traditional programs.

You may already have college credits toward your degree through previous classroom experience, military experience, non-college training and certification, or credit by assessment through testing.

See the new brochure, which includes specific dates and times of classes. Learn more about this program at the Open Campus Accelerated Degree page.
