Social Sciences & Education Pathway
|
|
If you are interested in why people do what they do or elementary/early education and child development, you can choose this pathway; it offers methods of study to understand human origins, motivations, and to describe human behavior. This pathway offers degrees and certificates in the science of understanding people – anthropology, psychology, political and social sciences, criminal justice, chemical dependency – but also degrees and certificates leading to work in elementary and pre-school education. An expert from this pathway can help you to choose which degree or certificate will best lead to your ultimate goal.
As with all pathways, you may choose to move to a different pathway at any time. If you so choose, an advisor can help you.
*YVC offers associate in arts and associate in science degrees for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university. Following is a list of the degrees offered by YVC: associate in arts - direct transfer agreement (DTA), associate in business - direct transfer agreement (DTA/MRP), associate in science - transfer track 1 (AS-T T1), and associate in science - transfer track 2 (AS-T T2). All public and most private universities in Washington State have agreed to accept transfer students who have earned these degrees, with junior standing upon admission. Admission to a specific major is not guaranteed, but completing a transfer degree with an area of interest can better prepare a student for admission to a major program of study. Ask your YVC advisor about how to plan your associate in arts or associate in science degree around one of these areas of emphasis.
