Program Narrative The need for dedicated, caring, and highly skilled teachers in our nation\\\'s schools is greater than ever before. Northampton is committed to providing an excellent foundation for students preparing to major in middle level education when they transfer to a four-year college or university.

Completion of the Associate in Arts Degree with a major in Middle Level Education: Grades 4 to 8 allows for a smooth transition to a four-year institution. At the transfer institution students will take advanced courses leading to a degree and certification for grades 4 through 8. Program Features The Middle Level Education major provides students with a strong foundation in mathematics, science, language arts, and social sciences. Students start their professional courses with EDUC115 Education for All Students and SPED160 Introduction to Special Education. All teachers need to be able to work with special education students, and with students who have limited English proficiency. Northampton\\\'s program integrates content related to special education and English language learners (ELL). Students will then select education transfer electives based upon the institution to which they will transfer to complete the junior and senior years of the bachelor\\\'s degree.
