Education Programs at EAC

It’s a great time to become a teacher! An enormous need exists for qualified primary and secondary teachers in Arizona and throughout the country. EA’s programs in elementary, secondary, and technology education provide you hands-on training experiences in a classroom setting and launch you well into a bachelor’s program to earn your teaching credential. Our associate degrees meet the requirements for the first two years of a four-year bachelor’s program at Arizona’s public, and many other, universities. You can transfer with junior status after building a strong academic foundation in small, stimulating classes taught by quality faculty and offered at an extremely affordable tuition cost. You are encouraged to work closely with an academic adviser and consult official transfer guides to ensure you are on the correct course to maximize course transferability.
