Information Session for University Center/Pfeiffer Elementary Education Program Set for Oct. 6

Randolph Community College will be holding a drop-in information session for its University Center/Pfeiffer Elementary Education program on Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 4:30-6 p.m. in the RCC Foundation Conference Center on the Asheboro Campus.

Students interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree to teach K-6 in an elementary school can receive information and meet with both Pfeiffer and RCC representatives to ask questions and plan their coursework, according to Maria LeBaron, RCC Psychology instructor and Pfeiffer liaison.

Anyone who is currently taking RCC classes toward the Pfeiffer program with an interest in beginning the Pfeiffer coursework in fall 2016 should attend.

The collaborative agreement between Pfeiffer and RCC began in spring of 2008. The general education courses are offered through RCC. The major courses are offered through Pfeiffer, and the bachelor’s degree is granted by Pfeiffer.

RCC classes are taught day, evening or online. Pfeiffer classes are usually held on Monday nights at the RCC Asheboro Campus and through videoconferencing or online. During the summer, classes may be held on multiple evenings and there are a few semesters when students would have day classes for school observations and student teaching.

RCC’s Asheboro Campus is located at 629 Industrial Park Avenue. Take the McDowell Road exit off Highway 220 Bypass (I73/I74), just south of the interchange with Highways 64 and 49. For more information, contact LeBaron at 336-633-0226 or email her at mblebaron@randolph.edu.
