Education Paraprofessional

This degree offers classes in general education, professional education, and early childhood. Many of the courses will transfer to a four-year institution and will count toward a bachelor's degree; others offer content specific to the needs of students with whom paraprofessionals are likely to work.

Note: MAT 108 has been designed especially for this program.
