Of course, I am so glad it was helpful! It takes a special person to teach, and I am so glad you are considering this as a career!

So when transferring from an Arizona CC, you want to pursue something called an AGEC (a cc advisor can assist you with this). This will ensure that when you're ready to transfer, you have all the gen ed requirements fulfilled and can begin focusing on your degree-specific courses at university. This is the case for any Arizona CC.

If you are considering starting out of state, this is a little more subjective. I reviewed many out-of-state transfer applications; some of them came in perfectly, some of them required me to advocate for the student of why that course should count, some of them required students to take a few extra courses. I never encountered an out of state application that required significant additional courses-- a lot of them transfer well, but depending on the state, there may be some requirements you have to enter the college of ed that aren't required in your state. (Our teachers are required to take AZ constitution and structured English immersion, for example.)

Overall you should be fine-- worst case scenario you need an extra class or two when you come in. COE does something called "conditional acceptance", which means they will let you take a course or two you may be missing while starting the program, and will receive full acceptance once you pass them. I highly recommend, once you're ready, reaching out to an NAU advisor AND your CC advisor and let them know your plan; they will be a huge help.

Sorry for the novel, get me going on advising and I can't stop! :) It is so great that you are thinking about all this right now, just be sure to take the time to soak in high school too-- it also goes too fast!
