 Career Pathway – Human Services and Education There is a growing need for teachers at both the secondary and post-secondary levels who have a technical/occupational background. In response to this need, Kellogg Community College has entered into a partnership with Western Michigan University by creating a 2 + 2 program through General University Studies– Occupational Education Studies that results in a Bachelor of Science and Secondary Teacher Certification/Endorsement from the state of Michigan. The program begins with an Associate in Applied Science in Occupational Education from KCC. This degree has two major components. First, the General Education Core, designed to match the General Education requirements of WMU, and secondly, the occupational specialty, which can be any 30 credit hours concentrated in a specific occupational area at KCC. Students who already have an associate degree from an occupational program at KCC may only have to take a few courses in order to receive the Occupational Education A.A.S. degree. It’s important to see an academic advisor who can advise you on the specific courses needed in order to transfer to WMU and complete the program in two years. General Education Students must complete the general education requirements as outlined below.
Occupational/Technical Specialty Students must complete a minimum of 31 credit hours in major courses required by a specific technical/occupational program at Kellogg Community College. These programs include any of the following: °Business °Students interested in teaching in the business area are required to take additional credits in the Occupational Specialty and reduced General Education credits. See an academic advisor for specific details.
