The associate of science degree prepares students for transfer to a four-year university. Motlow has articulation agreements with Tennessee State University, Athens State and Lipscomb. Family and Consumer Science is a Tennessee Transfer Pathway.
Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTPs) enable you to complete your two-year degree at Motlow and then transfer to any Tennessee public university, and several Tennessee private universities, as a junior to complete your four-year bachelor’s degree.
The AAS is a two-year degree plan designed for you to complete and quickly enter the workforce.
Early Childhood Education is typically focused on preschool education.
Certificates are designed to prepare you for occupational employment. Requirements vary by area of study.
At Motlow, you can receive a certificate to assist you when working with young children.
Certificates can be used as part of the Child Development Association (CDA) process and as building blocks to obtain the next higher-level certificate or A.A.S.
The 2+2 is a partnership that allows you to earn two degrees in a single, full-time course of study. These are the Associate of Science in Teaching degree, and a BA in Elementary Education, grades K-5.
