Teacher Preparation

Students pursuing a career in education should identify as early as possible the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer. Both elementary and secondary education students will be required to earn a Bachelor’s degree, and program requirements vary among Colorado universities.

Secondary Education Preparation

Students interested in teaching at the middle or high school level can complete the first two years of general education and content courses at Aims Community College. These courses will transfer to a four-year university, where students will continue their coursework for secondary education licensure. It is recommended that students consult with both education and content area advisors.
