Master of Education Degree in Early Childhood Education

The master's degree program in Early Childhood Education prepares professionals for teaching and administrative positions in child care and preschool settings, elementary schools, early intervention special education programs, and colleges. The program is based on knowledge and developmentally appropriate practices for the teaching and learning of young children (birth through 8 years of age). An interdisciplinary program, it focuses on the connections of children, family, educational settings, and community so essential to a young child's total development and individual diverse needs. The program addresses early childhood issues using sound research practices and principles and includes a focus on the graduate student's individual professional needs. Courses are taught by graduate faculty members from the elementary and early childhood education, educational foundations, special education and psychology departments.
