This curriculum prepares students to transfer to a secondary education chemistry program at a four-year college or university in the state of Maryland. The AAT articulates with all Maryland transfer programs in secondary chemistry education. The program enables students to fulfill their General Education requirements, participate in fieldwork experiences, and complete a core of professional education coursework appropriate for the first two years of teacher preparation. To earn the AAT students must achieve a minimum of a 2.75 cumulative GPA and present acceptable scores on a state-approved basic skills test.
