EDUCATION - K-12 EDUCATION
Center and South Campuses
This program is designed to provide students with the basic competencies, knowledge, and skills requisite to seek transfer admission to a baccalaureate degree program in Elementary or Secondary Education. Because education programs vary from institution to institution and requirements will also differ based on teaching majors and minors selected, students are advised to consult with a counselor or academic advisor (586.286.2228 Center Campus or 586.445.7211 South Campus) when choosing options and elective course work. Since changes to this program may occur from time to time, students are advised to use Macomb’s online catalog for the most up-to-date information about this program and its requirements. It is important to note that teacher education programs are highly selective. Academic performance at Macomb (GPA) will be a significant factor in admission to a university program.
