Program Overview

The AAT program allows students to jumpstart their study of education by offering education courses and field experiences in their freshman and sophomore years. This allows students to make an earlier informed decision as to whether education as a career is right for them. The AAT program embeds field experiences in most pre-professional education courses, so students will learn about teaching in local classrooms with experienced teachers.
