Elementary Education - AS

An Associate of Science (AS) degree in Elementary Education prepares a student interested in a career in education to obtain a degree as they determine the role that best suits their career goals. 

This degree can stack into a BA or BS in a chosen teaching major (e.g. Elementary Education or Early Childhood education), transfer into another major, or allow movement into the workforce. The future BA or BS degree leads to a recommendation for Professional License from the Utah State Board of Education to teach in the grade-level or content of the chosen degree. 

For more information about this degree, visit our AS in Elementary Education website.

Students will need to hold a high school diploma. This is the usual minimum requirement for being hired by a school district as a paraprofessional, which is the audience in which most of the recruiting will occur.
