CCV Liberal Studies with Specialization in Education (AA) to VTSU Education: Elementary with Special Education (BA)


Catalog Year: 2026-2027

Program Code: S.BA.EDU.ESP.PTH

This transfer pathway will help you plan courses at the Community College of Vermont (CCV) that will meet course specific requirements at Vermont State University (VTSU).  

  • CCV and VTSU are both a part of the Vermont State College System (VSCS). Students have one common VSCS transcript. As such, courses taken at CCV are not considered transfer credit.  

  • Students who have completed an associate degree at CCV will have completed all associate-level general education requirements at VTSU.

  • VTSU accepts all general education credits and associate’s level VSCS graduation standards from CCV.  

  • Transfer courses from regionally accredited institutions will be accepted if grades are C- or better.
