Secondary Education Transfer Major
Program Description: To become a teacher, a student must graduate from an accredited teacher training institution. Students can attend Iowa Central for their first two years and then transfer to a public or private college for the remaining two years. After completing the necessary coursework, students at Iowa Central can receive an Associate of Arts degree with a concentration in Secondary Education. Iowa Central's education curriculum combines a strong arts and science core with professional courses in education. This curriculum provides general education coursework, specific skills training, and direct experience working with children and young people in a school setting.
Our education students have transferred to a wide variety of senior colleges and universities. Iowa Central students are prepared to do well and have become award winning educators. Our graduates regularly attend all major colleges in Iowa as well as three regent universities. They are employed as classroom teachers, administrators, counselors, and librarians. Coursework at Iowa Central has provided a strong foundation to support their efforts.
