The undergraduate program in early childhood prepares students to work with young children and their families. The curriculum includes a variety of courses that are central to early childhood teaching and child development.
The program offers students the flexibility to choose a track that aligns with their career aspirations. The Foundations of Education track prepares students for entry into the master of education (MEd)/initial licensure programs in early childhood education and elementary education.
The Individualized Studies track prepares graduates to work in non-licensure educational settings (including daycare centers, private schools, youth community programs, or a variety of non-profit settings), to pursue advanced degrees, or to work in other settings where a strong education in child development is useful.
