Early Childhood Education

Program Information

There are two Early Childhood Education degree programs: Associate in Science in Early Childhood Education and Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. Each is a two year program of study and prepares students to work with children ages birth to four years old. Students completing the A.S. in Early Childhood Education degree program can easily transition into the college’s B.S. Early Childhood Education degree program.

Both the A.S. and B.S. Early Childhood Education degree programs admit year-round in all terms. A.S Early Childhood Education applicants complete the college application only and appropriate background screening required by Early Childhood facilities. B.S. Early Childhood Education applicants must complete a program application in addition to the college application, meet a 2.0 cumulative GPA requirement, and complete a successful fingerprint and background screening required by Early Childhood facilities.
