Have You Herd? Episode 6

In this episode of Have You Herd? we talk with Dr. Brandon Jenkins, Dean of our Arts & Sciences division, about two new transfer degree programs here at the college: the Associate in Arts in Teacher Preparation and the Associate in Science in Teacher Preparation.
The Teacher Preparation degree programs start you on the path of becoming a K-12 or special education teacher. After completing your first two years at WCC, you will be able to seamlessly transfer to any UNC system school with a teacher preparation curriculum to earn your Bachelor's degree.
