Education
A teacher helps students learn basic developmental skills and is a wonderful career choice for the individual who loves children, believes in education and is ready to give everything to their career.
Independence Community College’s two-year Associate Science Degree prepares students with coursework in educational theory, early- and later-elementary teaching methodologies, human growth and development, and classroom management.
The program is for students who want to work in public schools and pre-elementary teaching positions. An associate degree prepares students for transfer into bachelor's-degree programs or employment as teacher aides.
Independence Community College’s education programs are closely aligned with four-year college and university programs. ICC has two-plus-two programs with leading universities where all the transferring student’s associate-degree credits apply to the first two years of the Bachelor of Science in Education programs.
