As a Queensborough student you will focus your education in one of our eight Queensborough Academies.
Students interested in pursuing a career as a teacher at the early childhood level (birth through 2nd grade), childhood or primary level (1st through 6th grade), or secondary or adolescent level (7th through 12th grades) can pursue degree options in the Education Academy.
QCC students may choose between A.A. and A.S. degree programs which are designed to prepare you for transfer to a four-year college or university or an A.A.S. degree which are designed to prepare you for immediate entry into the workforce. A.A. and A.S. degree graduates will be able to complete a bachelor’s degree in the same field in an additional two years after transfer. A.A.S. degree graduates may also transfer but may require three years of additional study at the 4-year institution to complete the bachelor’s degree.
Degree maps are available for each degree program on its page below. The maps, which were developed by your faculty members, recommend which courses should be taken each semester to complete the degree program in two years. Your adviser can also help you select courses each semester. We recommend that you meet with your advisor every semester.
