Associate of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies - Educational Paraprofessional (Teacher's Aide)
If you are interested in working with children or adolescents, or perhaps are considering a teaching certificate in the future, the Associate of Applied Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with an educational paraprofessional emphasis area could provide you with the opportunity to pursue these options.* This degree accommodates students whose needs are satisfied by an associate's degree as well as those who may wish to pursue study beyond the associate's degree level. For students who have a particular interest in working with children in an educational setting, the educational paraprofessional emphasis area is designed to provide specific preparation in this field.†
*Kaplan University's programs are designed to prepare graduates to pursue employment in their field of study, or in related fields. However, the University does not guarantee that graduates will be placed in any particular job or employed at all.
†The Associate of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies degrees with educational paraprofessional or early childhood development emphases are not represented as meeting specific state Board of Education criteria for assisting with children and teachers in a public school setting. Students are encouraged to check with their local school district on specific college education requirements needed in these fields.
