At certain UNC institutions, EDU 216 may fulfill major requirements; at a majority of institutions, the course will transfer only as a free elective. Students should check with the university for the local transfer policy regarding EDU 216.

Recommended:

For electives, pre-education students in Elementary Education should select courses that will help meet a corollary studies area. These courses should be selected in conjunction with the requirements at each university, since available corollary studies may not be offered on each university campus. Corollary Studies comprise a minimum of 18 hours of community college or UNC-campus coursework in a choice of four interdisciplinary areas: (1) diversity studies; (2) global issues; (3) the arts; (4) math, science, and technology. Satisfying the UNC Board of Governors’ requirement for an academic concentration, corollary studies are appropriate for expanding and deepening the pre-service elementary teacher’s knowledge, appreciation, and skills in the area appropriate to the elementary-school classroom and curriculum. See your academic advisor for a more complete list of recommendations for corollary-studies areas.

Admission to the Major at a Public Senior Institution

Grade-point-average requirements vary, and admission is competitive across the several programs In Elementary Education. Minimum statewide requirements are the following:

  1. Minimum 2.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale
  2. Satisfactory passing scores as established by the State Board of Education on PRAXIS I PPST-Reading, PPST-Writing, PPST-Math.

Receiving institutions may have additional requirements, prerequisites, and/or proficiencies. Since these vary at receiving institutions, students should review the admission-to-teacher-education requirements for the institution(s) they anticipate attending.

**Hours will vary depending on course selection.

Additional Information

This template has been developed by university and community college faculty as a blueprint for guiding community colleges in developing programs for students who intend to major in Middle Grades Education. Students who successfully complete this course of study and who meet the requirements for admission to the university may be eligible to apply for admission to the major with junior standing.

See Associate in Arts A10100 and your academic advisor for all Core and Professional choices.

Required:

ART 111 or MUS 110; BIO 110 or BIO 111; CHM 131/131A, CHM 151, PHY 110/110A, or PHY 151; CIS 110; COM 231; ENG 131, ENG 231, ENG 232, or ENG 233; HIS 111, HIS 112, HIS 121, or HIS 122; PSY 150; SOC 210 or SOC 225; PED 110; PED activity course; any two of MAT 140, MAT 141/141A, MAT 161 or higher

See your academic advisor for an Individualized Learning Plan for this pre-major.

At certain UNC institutions, EDU 216 may fulfill major requirements; at a majority of institutions, the course will transfer only as a free elective.

Students should check with the university for the local transfer policy regarding EDU 216.

Recommended:

For electives, pre-education students in Middle Grades Education should select courses that will help meet the mandated academic (second-major) concentration. These courses should be selected in conjunction with the requirements at each university, since available academic (second-major) concentrations and their specific requirements differ on each campus. In order to be consistent with NC licensure areas, Middle Grades Education students should select courses from up to two (2) of the following areas: Social Sciences, English, Mathematics, Sciences. (Note: UNC-Asheville students major in an academic area and the selected 20 hours should be coordinated with their intended major/ program.) Typically offered academic concentrations are biology, English, history, mathematics, and psychology. See your academic advisor for a more complete list of recommendations for specific academic concentrations.

Admission to the Major at a Public Senior Institution
Grade-point-average requirements vary, and admission is competitive across the several programs In Special Education. Minimum statewide requirements are the following:

  1. Minimum 2.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale
  2. Satisfactory passing scores as established by the State Board of Education on PRAXIS I PPST-Reading, PPST-Writing, PPST-Math, or other SBE-approved options.

Receiving institutions may have additional requirements, prerequisites, and/or proficiencies. Since these vary at receiving institutions, students should review the admission-to-teachereducation requirements for the Institution(s) they anticipate attending.

**Hours will vary depending on course selection.

Developmental Education

Curriculum Description

Developmental Education provides students with an opportunity to build academic skills and acquire the background which should facilitate success in their desired program of study.

For applicants to a program of study who, on the basis of test results and past performance, do not qualify for immediate admission to their chosen program of study, noncredit developmental course work is available and may be required as a prerequisite for registration in specific credit courses. Students taking the required development work may also take specified courses within their desired program of study.

Students may transfer all applicable credit courses into their program of study when the criteria has been met and developmental and selected program courses have been completed. All credit courses within the student’s chosen program of study will then be applied toward graduation.

Some developmental courses are also open to students who wish to take them for personal benefit.

This program offers a series of courses for preparation, remediation and guidance for students who, for a variety of reasons, do not meet the specific entrance requirements for the program of their choice. Students who do meet the minimum entrance requirements but whose previous academic records indicate that they may have difficulty in successfully completing their programs are also advised to complete the necessary course work in the Developmental Education program.

The student’s academic program will be individually designed to meet their specific preparatory and remedial needs. The courses will be selected from the developmental offerings and from technical and/or vocational credit courses. Developmental education courses do not earn credit towards graduation from degree, diploma and certificate programs.
