Program overview
A two year university transfer route covering the first two years of an elementary education degree, including child development, foundations of education, curriculum studies and the academic breadth teacher training requires.
This route carries the highest English requirement in the entire catalogue at IELTS 8.0 with no band below 7.5, which reflects the language demands placed on teachers. Applicants should treat that bar as the first hurdle, since no amount of academic strength substitutes for it, and the degree is completed at a partner university.
