master of education early childhood: teacher of students with and without disabilities (Prek-2)
leading to professional teacher license

The Early Childhood professional licensure program is designed for students who already hold an initial license and are seeking a Master's degree. The program exposes students to advanced levels of curriculum development as well as current issues and challenges beyond the scope of an initial license.

Areas such as policy, behavior, and multiculturalism are some of the topics students encounter in collaboration with their colleagues. Practical classroom experiences enhance material presented in course sessions, and an appreciation for the teacher as researcher and advocate is fostered.
