College of Education Academic Advising
COE Student Resources
Below are a list of supporting resources the College of Education advising team has worked to gather for our education students.
A.S.T. Student Handbook
VERY IMPORTANT! Download the above A.S.T. Student Handbook, which serves as the essential and comprehensive guide for all students planning to transfer to MTSU following the Associates in Teaching (A.S.T.) transfer pathways from one of our community college partners.
After reviewing the handbook, you can find major-specific documents below to help ensure you understand your unique transfer pathway. Incoming students are required to sign up for CUSTOMS, the new student orientations prior to their starting term.
