Note(s)
Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTPs) are advising tools designed to help community college students plan for transferring to a Tennessee public university or select regionally accredited, non-profit Tennessee private colleges and universities to complete their baccalaureate degree. The TTPs also constitute an agreement between community colleges and four-year colleges/universities confirming that community college courses meet major preparation requirements. For transfer to other four-year institutions, contact an advisor at the senior institution.
Note: Due to the transferability to a four-year institution, there are to be no course substitutions.
(TTP website https://www.tntransferpathway.org/ )
Observation/Field Work is required, as well as a successful background check, successful disposition assessments, and the purchase of liability insurance.
Graduates from this program may also become Special Education Paraprofessionals or Exceptional Education Assistants. The courses for the Special Education A.S.T. Degree can be taken online or on campus, so students have flexible scheduling options while at Chattanooga State.
