Pathway to Teaching Careers Degree

This program is designed to parallel the first two years of study at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) for students preparing to enter a baccalaureate program in primary or secondary education.

Under the provisions of the articulation agreement, graduates of the TCC Pathway to Teaching Careers Program with a grade point average of 2.7 or higher, who received their associates degree may apply to CCSU’s School of Education and Professional Studies. Students will be considered for CCSU’s School of Education and Professional Studies’ Teacher Education Program on an equal basis with native students at CCSU who become eligible to apply to this selective admissions program during their sophomore year, for enrollment as a junior. Upon acceptance, all of your Tunxis credits transfer seamlessly toward a bachelor’s degree in teacher education.
