The Education Program consists of two distinctive degree programs that will prepare students for careers in education: The Associate in Arts (A.A.) in Liberal Arts degree and the Early Childhood Education Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.)

Transfer Program Associate in Arts (A.A) -60 credits

The A.A. degree program is designed for students interested in pursuing their studies in education, child psychology, counseling, or social work after graduating from Hostos. This course of study will allow the maximum number of credits to transfer to a senior college, and is strongly recommended for students who seek careers requiring a baccalaureate degree, such as primary and secondary school teachers.

The A.A.S. degree program in Early Childhood Education is designed for students who plan to enter the workforce immediately after graduation to work in daycare centers, residential homes, and other facilities designed for the care and development of the preschool child. Students may also choose between a non-bilingual or bilingual option.
