Early Childhood Major
The early childhood education program is designed for students wanting certification to teach in the public schools at the preschool through third grade levels.
The program is grounded in child development, is sequential, and field based.
This means that early childhood major's course of study begins with an in-depth study of children, birth through age eight, moves to examination of program and career options within the profession, and opportunities for expanding work with children in a classroom setting are provided during every year of the program.
The program culminates in a twelve week, full-day student teaching experience in a dual placement within the public schools – preschool and one primary grade, 1-3.
