To teach children in today's world, educators must be global, culturally capable citizens. Oakton's career tracks prepare students to enter a classroom with the necessary skills and experience to aide a teacher in educating children. Students who want to earn a bachelor's degree in education will be able to complete the associates program at Oakton and then transfer to a four-year college or university. Students interested in transferring should refer to "Five Critical Things to Know" and attend an orientation session.
