Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT)
To obtain an Associate of Arts in Teaching degree, students must successfully complete 60-64 hours of college credit. Courses taken to satisfy AAT degree requirements must have a “C” or better in order to transfer to most four-year universities. Successful completion of 15 degree credits as a regular student at College of the Ouachitas and satisfaction of all financial obligations due to the College are required for graduation.
Arkansas Department of Higher Education policy requires that in order to receive an Associate of Arts in Teaching degree to transfer to a state 4-year college, students must have a 2.65 GPA or higher and pass the Praxis I exam. College of the Ouachitas also requires all AAT graduates to take the MAPP test.
The Associate of Arts in Teaching degree curriculum is mandated by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education to be standardized at all two-year colleges in Arkansas. However, four-year colleges and universities may have different requirements so please check with the college/university to which you intend to transfer for specific degree requirements. Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution should provide their A&S advisor with a degree plan from the senior institution as curriculum requirements may differ at each college.
