UTF at Los Angeles Southwest College The Urban Teacher Fellowship (UTF) is a career pathway for aspiring teachers that supports students in attaining their AA degree at a LASC and their BA degree and teaching credential at CSULA. The students work part-time in afterschool programs while on this pathway, using this employment as a source of financial support and as a career-linked learning lab. The purpose of this program is to provide a road map for students to follow so they can successfully complete their lower-division general education requirements and graduate with an AA in Liberal Studies (Elementary Teaching Preparation) within two years at Los Angeles Southwest College.
