Associate in Science in Teacher Preparation

Wake Tech Course ID: A1040T

The  Associate in Science in Teacher Preparation (ASTP) is a university transfer degree for students interested in becoming licensed elementary, middle, high school or special education teachers. The program is tailored for individuals with an interest in teaching STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering and math.

Students take 60 credit hours of college transfer courses. That gives them the opportunity to transfer as a junior to any of 15 University of North Carolina System institutions or a number of North Carolina private colleges and universities. Students, of course, must meet admission requirements at these schools.

In addition to 45 credit hours of general education courses, ASTP degree students complete a social diversity course, as well as the following four teacher education courses:

  • Teaching and Learning for All
  • Foundations of Education
  • Literacy Development Instruction
  • Teacher Licensure Preparation
