Program Details
Prepare to influence young learners in their formative years, particularly nursery school level to Grade 3 with this online early childhood education degree. There are two options to choose between:
Certification in Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education
The non-Certification program focuses on the Department of Health and Human Services credentialing
The Early Childhood certification prepares students for careers teaching in public schools and the Early Childhood Special Education certification prepares students to work with infants, toddlers, and children needing special education services. This option is field-based, allowing students to gain hands-on experience.
The Non-Certification option is for those seeking careers in early childhood care settings, qualifying students to be early childhood education and child care providers.
