PRE-ELEMENTARY EDUCATION (CWU) AA&S DTA
This education plan is intended for transfer students interested in applying to the Elementary
Education program at Central Washington University. It provides students the greatest flexibility
for curricular exploration, while ensuring that they earn junior standing relative to university
breadth requirements (aka GenEd, UCORE, etc.), which is reflected in the DTA (Direct Transfer
Agreement) annotation of this degree. This plan has been vetted by the Elementary Education
advising staff at CWU to ensure students are eligible to APPLY for admission into the Elementary
Education program.
Please note that this advising plan DOES NOT guarantee admission into the university major. CWU will determine
entrance into their own program based on individual applicant criteria and on a competitive basis. Students pursuing
an Elementary Education degree will also need to complete a minor.
