Secondary Education - English
Associate of Science in Teaching
Students who wish to teach at the secondary level will generally major in their discipline area and minor in education. Students should check with the university to which they intend to transfer in case there are additional requirements needed for admittance to the program there.
The Associate of Science in Teaching degree has been implemented throughout the Tennessee Board of Regents system to facilitate entry of transfer students from community colleges into university teacher education programs. A common curriculum applicable to all community colleges and acceptable to most Tennessee public universities is prescribed.
Admission, retention, and graduation requirements are the same as those published in the Graduation Requirements section of this catalog with the additional requirement that students who qualify for the A.S.T. must satisfy the following:
- Attainment of a cumulative 2.75 grade point average
- Successful completion of the PRAXIS Core Academic Skills for Educators (or a composite score of 21 or greater on the enhanced ACT or a combined verbal and mathematical score of 1020 or greater on the re-centered SAT)
- Achievement of satisfactory rating on an index of suitability for the teaching profession
- Achievement of “C” or better in ENGL 1010 and ENGL 1020 and in each of the Education (EDU) courses in the curriculum
