Note:
* The Introduction to Special Education course required by Hagerstown Community College is a necessary requirement for the College’s A.A.T. Degree in Elementary/Generic Special Education Pre-K-12 Degree, but is not sufficient to meet all special education or inclusion course requirements for four-year teacher education programs. Students may be required to take additional special education or inclusion courses as a part of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree and teacher education certification at four-year institutions.
Students who have been convicted of child abuse, sexual abuse of a minor, or crimes of violence are precluded from employment in the field of teaching. Please discuss concerns with your advisor. |
