–

Pages 18 - 19

The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree represents the first two

years of a four-year bachelor’s degree and prepares students to

continue studies at the university level or in any upper division

college program, such as the Bachelor’s degree programs at

NWF State College. Through the A.A. program of study, the

college offers the necessary prerequisite courses for more than

200 State University System baccalaureate programs. As part of

Florida’s public higher education system, college courses at NWF

State College carry the same course numbers as those offered

at the state’s universities and are recognized as equivalent. Thus,

the college credits earned at NWF State College transfer to meet

upper-division prerequisite requirements and the A.A. degree is

recognized and welcomed in transfer to universities nationwide.

Associate in Science, Certificates &

Applied Technology Diplomas

–

Page 23 - 57

National studies indicate that 8 out of every 10 jobs require

training beyond high school, but not necessarily a four year

degree. The

Associate in Science (A.S.) is a two-year career

education degree that prepares students for direct entry into

the workforce. The A.S. degree is also fully transferable into

most NWFSC bachelor’s degree programs. All A.S. degrees

have companion certificates that may be used as a career path

toward the A.S. degree. Students who complete one or more

certificate(s) in the career path complete approximately 45% to

50% of the course requirements for the companion A.S. degree.

General Info --

The State Board of Education approved a new bachelor’s degree for NWF State College starting in the 2013-14 academic year –

a

Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education (B.S.) that will focus on training professionals to work with children ages birth through four

years. The new degree is the first in the region and will provide a career ladder to increased pay potential for those currently employed in the field

at child care facilities, pre-kindergarten programs, Head Start programs and more. The degree also provides a pathway to a bachelor’s degree for

students enrolled in the college’s current associate degree and certificate programs in Early Childhood Education. The bachelor’s curriculum will focus

on the practical, applied knowledge essential in the field and will work seamlessly for current students who wish to move from an associate degree to

the bachelor’s, as well as for new students who want to pursue a career working with young children.

In addition to its current programs in Early Childhood Education, NWF State College operates a nationally accredited Child Development and

Education Center (CDEC) on its Niceville campus that serves the children of students and the public, and the center will serve as a lab classroom for

the new bachelor’s program. For information on the program, contact Beverly Sandlin, NWF State College Director of Early Childhood Education, at

the teaching internship requirement can be completed only in the Fall or Spring terms, which may impact the student’s completion date. School-based

“field experiences” are infused throughout the NWF State College Middle Grades Math Education degree program. Students will complete a 450 hour

sequence with a lab. Students who substitute CHM 1045C or PHY 1053C for BSC 1010C in their GE coursework, must substitute CHM 1046C or PHY 1054C for BSC 1011C in the state-mandated prerequisites. Remember that NWFSC GE requirements include a biological science; this college requirement cannot be waived for students completing their A.A. degree at NWFSC. Note: BSC 1011C serves as a prerequisite for ISC 4145, which is required in the B.S. Middle Grades Science Teacher Education program. Therefore, the most effi cient lower-division course selection includes BSC 1010C to meet the GE biological science requirement, followed by BSC 1011C. This course sequence meets GE requirements, state-mandated prerequisite requirements, and one prerequisite for a course in upper division.
