Teacher Preparation
Students wishing to teach in certification areas not covered by the A.A.T.
programs can also begin their studies at FCC. Before transferring, future
teachers are advised to take ED 102 (Schools and Society), achieve a
minimum of a 2.750 cumulative GPA and have qualifying scores on one of the
state-approved basic skills tests for future teachers. Course requirements vary
widely by transfer school and teaching area. Therefore, students are strongly
encouraged to consult the Education Department at their transfer institution
as early as possible in order to plan their coursework at FCC.
