Associate of Arts Degree (Oregon Transfer)

This two-year degree allows for easy transfer to any public four-year university in Oregon. Students must earn a minimum of 90 credits; however, up to 108 credits can be transferred. Sixty-four of ninety credits are required general study courses. The remaining credits may be used as electives or to meet program requirements of a particular university. If you know which university you plan to attend, choose LBCC classes with that program in mind.

Most teacher preparation programs require math for teachers - MTH 211, MTH 212, and MTH 213. These courses meet general education requirements and may be completed at LBCC.

Each course is offered once per year. Consequently, you must be ready to take MTH 211 fall term of your second year. Be aware that you may have to complete prerequisites in math during your first year at LBCC based on your score on the CPT exam.

Several teacher preparation programs require classroom experience as part of the education requirements. You may meet this requirement by taking HDFS 225 Child Development fall term, HDFS 248 Learning Experiences With Children winter term, and ED 209A Theory and Practicum spring term.

You may also earn credit for working in a school classroom by enrolling in ED 101, ED 102, or ED 103. Because schools have health and safety requirements, you should meet with an advisor before enrolling in ED 101.
