Associate of Science in Teaching (AST) Degree

Chattanooga State offers an Associate of Science in Teaching (AST) degree, which builds a strong foundation for teacher preparation programs, and future employment as teachers. Classes require students to apply concepts from coursework to fieldwork.

Flexible Scheduling

All courses for AST degrees can be taken online or on campus.

Transferring

AST degrees are designed to transfer smoothly toward Bachelor’s degrees at most regional four-year universities. AST graduates will have completed all coursework and Teacher Disposition Statements. Graduates must also obtain the necessary ACT or Praxis CORE test scores, and the necessary GPA required for admission into four-year programs.

Additional requirements differ among four-year colleges and universities. ChattState's academic advisors will help you to meet each university’s degree transfer expectations!
