Students transfer to a fouryear university such as Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Kansas University, or Wichita State University. Students will choose an education major in early childhood (birth through third grade), elementary education (kindergarten through Sixth grade) or special education. Secondary education major (sixth through twelfth grade) may choose a specialization (science, math, English or history). Students have the opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, or an M.Ed. Students should speak with their advisor about the best course options to take depending on their preferred transfer school. Each fouryear university Ag Education program has their own specific requirements that may not align with the above pathway.
