There are several specialties within the program students can choose to study, including elementary, paraprofessional, and early childhood education. Some of the courses offered may cover pedagogy, curriculum studies, literacy and language, learning-environment management, technology in education, educational psychology and diversity in the classroom.

Earning an associate's degree can provide many benefits. This degree can give many students a leg up against other potential job candidates, or it can pave the pathway for obtaining a bachelor's or master's degree. Many of the skills learned from an Associate Degree in Education, can also be integrated into the workplace, including time management, organization, interpersonal communications, problem solving, and creative or analytical thinking.
