Program Overview
This curriculum provides the foundation for students interested in careers in teaching children or adults with developmental disabilities. The program prepares you to transfer to a four-year college or university to earn a Bachelor's degree, a requirement for the teacher certification in Florida. Students are strongly encouraged to select electives carefully in order to satisfy transfer requirements.
The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is a two-year liberal arts degree designed for the student who intends to transfer into a bachelor's degree program. You do not earn an A.A. in a specific major; however, you do have the opportunity to track toward a specific major at a university by choosing a related advisement track at Santa Fe College. If you don’t see a track geared toward your intended transfer major, you may choose General Studies and speak with your academic advisor.
