Pfeiffer Elementary Education Info Session Nov. 5 at Randolph Community College

Area residents who wish to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education without leaving Randolph County should attend a University Center of Randolph County orientation and information session set for Thursday, Nov. 5, at Randolph Community College's Asheboro Campus. Under this program, the general education courses are offered through Randolph Community College, and the four-year degree is granted by Pfeiffer University. The session will be held from 4:30-6 p.m. in Computer Technology Center Room 110.

In order to transfer to Pfeiffer, students need to have completed 24 college-level credits, about eight classes. The courses can transfer from other colleges or can be taken at RCC. It is recommended that students complete most of the RCC classes before applying to Pfeiffer early in a fall semester. Students can transfer into the Pfeiffer program to begin in the spring semester, so long as there are enough students to support the program.

Pfeiffer classes are held on Monday nights at the Asheboro Campus and through online courses. There are a few semesters when students would have day classes for school observations and student teaching.
