Bachelor of Science in Community Engagement and Education - Child Care

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

The Community Engagement and Education Program is designed for students interested in changing their community, working in non-school educational roles or leadership in community-based organizations. Some students also pursue licensure for teaching in public schools after graduation or teach in private or charter schools. Courses are offered during the day as well as online, in the evening and on weekends. We also give academic credit for prior professional experience. Areas of study include child care, youth work, urban education, alternative education, policy and leadership in community-based organizations, race relations, and community engagement and social action. Our graduates work as youth leaders and educators, administrators in community-based organizations, teachers and directors of child care and head start centers, community organizers, and state and local elected officials.
