Colorado Mountain College offers students the opportunity to complete the AA-Early Childhood Education requirements at CMC and then transfer into a degree program at a participating Colorado public four-year college or university. Upon completion of the last two years of the 4-year college’s Early Childhood Education program, students will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree and will be eligible for Early Childhood Education licensure.
Students must sign a graduation plan at Colorado Mountain College that identifies the first 54 credit hours that are guaranteed to transfer to a particular early childhood education program. To complete the AA graduation requirements, students, who have completed or are currently enrolled in courses that will total the first 54 credits, will apply to a specific early childhood education program and be advised on the final 6 credits guaranteed to transfer. During the students sophomore year or equivalent term when the student will complete the 54 credits the student will sign an agreement for the final 6 credit hours that will be co-signed by Colorado Mountain College and the four-year college. Participating four-year institutions are: Adams State College, Colorado State University, Fort Lewis College, Metropolitan State College of Denver, Mesa State College, and University of Northern Colorado. Only courses with a letter grade of “C” or better will be accepted for transfer, except COM 115 and the final 6 credits of electives, which must be completed with a “B” or better. Please see your advisor.
