* The Introduction to Special Education (EDTR 107) course required at CCBC is a necessary requirement of the College’s A.A.T. in Secondary Education-Physics degree but is not sufficient to meet all special education or inclusion course requirements for four-year 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.

****A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101 course, Transitioning to College, goes into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college in the spring 2010 semester (meaning you have not previously successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101 during your first semester at CCBC, thereby increasing the number of credits required for the degree to 64 credits. PLEASE NOTE: If you are new to college and completed one or more credit courses successfully at CCBC in the fall 2009 semester, you are ENCOURAGED but NOT REQUIRED to take ACDV 101 in the spring 2010 semester.
No course substitutions or course waivers are given in the A.A.T. degree.
Program Description:
The A.A.T. degree is the transfer option for students in secondary physics teacher education major. This degree guarantees a seamless transfer to Maryland four-year public and most private institutions in the teacher education majors. Students should note the differences between the A.A. and the A.A.T. degrees, especially the requirements of successful passage of the PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests and the minimum 2.75 GPA.
Teacher Education majors are strongly encouraged to take the PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests upon completion of the pre-professional education requirements and are required to register for PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests prior to participating in EDTR 273: Field-Based Experience. A passing score on PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests is required in order to earn the A.A.T. degree. All students who wish to pursue the A.A.T. degree must see the CCBC Teacher Education director or their campus coordinator before registering for classes.
Secondary Education includes grades 7-12.
