Secondary Education

Education Degree/A.A.

In order to earn an Associate of Arts Degree in Education with a major in Secondary Education, a student needs to complete a minimum of 62 credit-hours of required and elective course work.

Either Math 121 or 126 may be required. The student should consult with the adviser to determine which is needed and/or accepted for specialization at WVU.

As regards GEC elective course work, the specific courses a student should take for transfer depend on the area of emphasis he or she is planning on specializing in and on the institution to which he or she plans to transfer. Consultation with an education adviser at PSC and at the transfer institution is highly recommended.
