Becoming an educator is more than passing tests and taking an approved list of classes
— it's about making a difference. LBCC offers the Education Double Degree as well
as the state-wide Elementary Education degree.
Transfer to Any Oregon University Elementary Education Program
This state-wide degree allows you to transfer to an elementary education program at
any Oregon university offering a Bachelor's of Elementary Education. Work with your
advisor on specifics for your transfer destination.
The Education Double Degree
In this program, you’ll earn two undergraduate degrees at the same time: one in your
chosen field; the other in education. This program is a partnership between the LBCC
Education Department and Oregon State University's College of Education.
Contact an advisor for more information on transferring to Oregon State University through the Education
Double Degree.

Student Preparation
To take your first steps toward becoming a teacher, or simply to explore teaching
as a potential career, the Education Department recommends the following:
1. Enroll in ED 216
ED 216 is LBCC's course on Purpose, Structure, and Function of Education in a Democracy.
2. Meet with an education advisor
Meeting with an education advisor is vital to your college success. It will save you both time and money. Through accurate
and up-to-date advising, LBCC helps future teachers select appropriate classes. For
example, elementary school teachers take different course work than high school English
teachers. Additionally, the colleges of education located at various universities
are unique and require different coursework for students in their first two years
of college.
3. Understand the requirements for your teaching license
To earn a preliminary teaching license in the state of Oregon, teaching candidates
must complete the following requirements:
- Earn a bachelor's degree or higher
- Graduate from a state-accredited institution and state-approved teacher education
program
- Pass the Orela Civil Rights test
- Pass the appropriate subject area tests
- Pass a criminal background check
- Apply to TSPC (Teacher Standards Practices Commission) for teaching credentials
