Johnson County Community College Transfer Program to the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Education Bachelor of Arts in Middle School Education 2017-2018 Catalog Contact: Education Student Services Phone: (816) 25-224 Email: education@umkc.edu Homepage: education.umkc.edu The Associate of Arts degree (A.A.) at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the A.A. may select courses that satisfy both the A.A. degree requirements and lower division requirements for a bachelor s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the A.A. allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The A.A. degree requires completion of 64 credit hours, the maximum number of hours from a community college that will be applied toward a bachelor s degree at most four-year schools. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses. The UMKC School of Education offers a Bachelor of Arts in Middle School Education leading to certification in four content areas: * Language Arts * Mathematics * Science * Social Studies All UMKC undergraduate degrees require at least 120 credit hours, some programs may require more hours. Students must complete at least 0 credit hours at UMKC and at least 12 upper division credit hours in their major department / program at UMKC to be eligible to receive an undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
