Successful completion of an Associate of Arts in Elementary Education from NECC (that includes a minimum of 30 semester hours of general studies coursework or its equivalent with a cumulative 2.0 GPA or higher) will satisfy WSC’s 10 Core Academic Tenets and are accepted as approved programmatic substitutions for WSC’s endorsement program in elementary education. It is understood by both parties that not all courses from NECC will be exact equivalencies to the WSC elementary education endorsement courses but are approved substitutions when taken together. NOte: A cumulative 2.5 GPA or higher is required for admission into the WSC Teacher Education Program.
Total credit hours required for a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from WSC will total 120 credit hours. The 120 credit hours will include the transfer of up to 66 credit hours from NECC’s Associate of Arts in Elementary Education, and the remaining 53-54 credit hours from WSC (see above) that will result in a Nebraska teaching endorsement. Transfer students also may elect to complete one or more program endorsements that may require a total of more than 120 credits to complete.
To assist prospective transfer students enrolled in the in AA-Elementary Education/BS-Elementary Education Program with their academic planning, WSC and NECC will jointly advise students in the AA-Elementary Education/BS-Elementary Education Program during their third and fourth semesters at NECC. Students identifed by NECC as potential transfer students to WSC will work with co-advisors throughout their third and fourth semesters at NECC.
Other concerns with academic planning include having taken and passed the Praxis “Core” exam, a satisfactory background check, and portfolio of materials ready for review by WSC’s “Professional Progress Committee” while still enrolled in term four at NECC.
Students enrolled in this program, by transferring all satisfactorily completed academic credits and other requirements identifed within the AA-Elementary Education/BS-Elementary Education Program, will enter WSC with junior standing at Level 2 according to the Benchmarks Chart.
Students must complete 24 of the fnal 30 hours from WSC, and 40 credit hours of classes at the 300 or higher level.
Students enrolled in this program, in order to transfer into Level 2, must have earned a cum GPA of 2.5 (2.75 for admittance to student teaching) in accordance with our Benchmarks Chart with no required Level 1 courses below a C. For the sake of this agreement, the NECC courses that are program substitutions for WSC’s Level 1 courses are: SPCH 1010/1110, ENGL 1010, EDUC 1110, and PSYC 2300.
