• The systemwide transfer degree provides a pathway from any Kansas public community college offering the degree to any Kansas public university for individuals desiring to become licensed as a PK-6 elementary teacher. The pathway identifies courses/credit hours to be taken at the community college level and reflect the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) General Education framework “buckets” (https://www.kansasregents.org/academic_affairs/general-education/seven-bucket-framework) and recommended education coursework. • The Associate of Arts in Elementary Education degree at JCCC, can be found at: https://catalog.jccc.edu/degreecertificates/education/elementary-education-aa/ • These courses/credit hours transfer to any KBOR university as the first sixty hours toward a 120-hour PK-6 Elementary Education program degree. The remaining sixty hours at KBOR universities are the required courses to complete the PK-6 Elementary Education degree. • To see the full Fort Hays State University Course Catalog, go to: https://catalog.fhsu.edu/ | |
