***There are no DMACC courses that transfer exactly equivalent to the UNI SCI ED courses. Information is provided on how these specific requirements may be satisfied by DMACC transfer courses including a list of “recommended" DMACC courses.
Starting in Fall 2022, UNI will accept the AA degree as satisfying all general education requirements, including the Non-Western Cultures requirement. Students who complete the AA degree and plan to transfer to UNI in Fall 2022 or after will not need the Non-Western Cultures course.
If the AA degree is completed from DMACC, the PE requirement is waived. If the AA degree is not from DMACC, a degree audit must be completed to determine if any program requirements are unfulfilled and which requirements will need to be completed before the student enters the program. UNI does not accept an AA degree from out of state as meeting the UNI Liberal Arts Core requirements.
NOTE: Having an AA degree is NOT a guarantee that you have met all requirements for the Elementary Education program.
For information on UNI's Teacher Education Program admission requirements, please visit UNI's Teacher Education website.
Students must have completed their science classes prior to taking 820:140, the capstone class.
A GPA of 2.5 or higher is required in order to enter the Elementary Education Program. This applies to the coursework completed at DMACC and any other colleges or universities.
