NCTC ASSOCIATE OF ARTS IN TEACHING (AAT) DEGREE, GRADES 7-12

SUGGESTED PATHWAY FOR ENGLISH MAJORS (TEACHER CERTIFICATION)

The Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) degree is designed to transfer into a bachelor’s degree at a four-year public university

in the state of Texas. The transfer university is the final authority on determining if all the courses within the NCTC Associate of

Arts in Teaching degree are transferable and applicable for an intended major, so students should consult with an advisor at the

university level regarding all coursework to be completed at NCTC. The following is a recommended sequence of courses for

students intending on majoring in English (7-12, Teacher Certification) at a Texas public university. Students placing at college

preparatory levels will have additional courses to complete before taking eligible college-level courses in this sequence, and

some courses may have prerequisites; please check the course descriptions in the NCTC catalog. The amount of courses taken

each semester can also be adjusted as several core classes are offered during Summer and Mini-mesters; this sequence only

takes into account Fall and Spring semesters. Depending on how many credit hours you have already attempted, all courses

on this pathway may not be eligible for Financial Aid through NCTC.

NCTC ASSOCIATE OF ARTS IN TEACHING (AAT) DEGREE, GRADES 7-12

SUGGESTED PATHWAY FOR VISUAL ARTS MAJORS (TEACHER CERTIFICATION)

The Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) degree is designed to transfer into a bachelor’s degree at a four-year public university

in the state of Texas. The transfer university is the final authority on determining if all the courses within the NCTC Associate of

Arts in Teaching degree are transferable and applicable for an intended major, so students should consult with an advisor at the

university level regarding all coursework to be completed at NCTC. The following is a recommended sequence of courses for

students intending on majoring in Visual Arts (7-12, Teacher Certification) at a Texas public university. Students placing at college

preparatory levels will have additional courses to complete before taking eligible college-level courses in this sequence, and

some courses may have prerequisites; please check the course descriptions in the NCTC catalog. The amount of courses taken

each semester can also be adjusted as several core classes are offered during Summer and Mini-mesters; this sequence only

takes into account Fall and Spring semesters. Depending on how many credit hours you have already attempted, all courses

on this pathway may not be eligible for Financial Aid through NCTC.
