If you plan a career in elementary or special education, you can complete your first two years of study at GCC. Some universities now require a minor that can be started at GCC. Consult with department staff at the school where you plan to transfer for specific information. Since program requirements differ between universities, the official transfer pathway (https://transfercredit.arizona.edu) of the school which you plan to attend upon leaving GCC should be consulted in order to adjust this program to your personal needs.
