Associate of Science Articulated with the Elementary Education Program at Southern Oregon University (99-105 credits)
This degree articulates directly into a new bachelor’s degree program in Elementary Education at SOU. If a student’s career goal is to teach in an elementary school, successful completion of the bachelor’s degree will lead to an initial teaching license.
Students must work closely with their advisors to ensure transferability of this program. If students transfer before completing this degree or in a major not covered by prior agreements, their courses will be evaluated individually toward the transfer requirements of the college of their choice. Students transferring to SOU will need to officially apply to the Elementary Education program at SOU at that time.
