The Teaching program is ideal for those students wishing to become teachers in a public school setting. Students complete their first two years at CTC and continue on to a four-year institution to complete their studies. Our varied delivery methods provide an accessible and affordable pathway to success. The degree is designed for students who wish to work with students in early childhood through sixth grade.

With an associate degree, students are qualified for paraprofessional positions in most school districts. 

The 60 credit-hour Associate of Arts degree in teaching certification consists of 42 credit hours of "core" classes, designed to transfer to any public Texas university, and 18 hours of electives and teaching courses.
