Start Here, Transfer There
Start your path to a career in elementary, secondary, or special education by spending your first two years at EA. After building a strong academic foundation, you can transfer with junior status to a university like Arizona State University or Northern Arizona University.
Some fields, like secondary education, are discipline-specific. That means some universities may require a minor, such as history, which you can begin at EA.
Advising Support
We recommend working with an EA academic adviser and checking official transfer guides to make sure your courses transfer smoothly. Our advisers offer personalized help with course selection, so your studies match your career and transfer goals from the beginning. They’ll also help you plan your transfer, advise on credit transfers, and make sure you meet prerequisites, so you can move on to a university with confidence.
