Elementary Education - Flathead Valley Community College

Transfer tracks are customized programs of study that prepare students to transfer. You will earn an Associate of Arts (AA) or an Associate of Science (AS) degree customized to your interests and transfer needs.

Associate of Science (AS) Degree Requirements

As an elementary education graduate, you are eligible to be certified by the state of Montana to teach grades K-8. Thanks to a 2+2 partnership between FVCC and the University of Montana, FVCC students can earn an Associate of Science degree from FVCC and then apply for acceptance into UM’s Elementary Education program with junior standing. Students can transfer to the UM Missoula campus to complete a bachelor’s degree or stay in the Flathead Valley and complete a bachelor’s degree through a UM distance learning cohort based at FVCC.

FVCC has a transfer articulation agreement with Montana State University – Bozeman that provides a clear pathway for students who plan to transfer to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in the Department of Education at MSU. FVCC also has a transfer articulation agreement with Salish Kootenai College allowing students to transfer with junior status to complete a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Elementary (K-8) Education
