Associate in Science Degree
This program is designed for students interested in a career in the field of education. It gives them the required liberal arts basic and it provides technical expertise needed in the classroom setting. It can be the first step of a liberal arts transfer program for students planning to complete a baccalaureate degree for teacher certification in the State of Connecticut. It can also be a career program for students interested in an instructional support position in an elementary or secondary school. This program was developed as an online distance learning program through a developmental grant from the CT Distance Learning Consortium. All of the courses already exist at Northwestern and many are being converted to online delivery. All of the liberal arts courses are available on ground at NCCC, online within the Community College System, and many are currently available online through NCCC.
