requirements of the college to which the student plans to transfer. Students
should select these courses with assistance of an advisor. A four credit

Community College is a necessary requirement of the College's AAT
degree, but is not sufficient to meet all special education or inclusion course
requirements for four-year teacher education programs. Students may be
required to take additional special education or inclusion courses as a part of
the requirements for a baccalaureate degree and teacher education
certification at four-year institutions.
