21 of these credits as transfer credits towards the Associate of Arts degree in
General Studies.
This option will also prepare students to continue their education beyond the
Associate degree. Students may choose to complete a Bachelor degree through the
College of Arts & Sciences at UMass-Boston or at another four-year institution.
Under current Massachusetts Department of Education regulations, persons who
complete this program, have six years of recent full-time employment, and

are eligible to teach in vocational and comprehensive Massachusetts High
Schools. For full details contact the Admissions Office or Transfer Office.
