The Bachelor of Arts in Education program in educational studies with a concentration in early childhood studies prepares you for careers working with and advocating for children from birth to age 5 (not yet in kindergarten). You gain skills in communication, critical thinking and leadership, enabling you to instill a lifelong love of learning in young children. Through online coursework, you deepen your understanding of the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of young children. You learn to set developmentally appropriate learning goals for this age group, create and support effective instructional strategies, and develop highly individualized instruction. This program integrates experiential learning opportunities into the curriculum, enabling you to put coursework into practice. You must be able to work or volunteer with learners in an early childhood setting (birth to age 5, not yet in kindergarten) for at least 15 hours per month throughout your junior and senior years. Transfer students who already have an Associate of Applied Science in early childhood education or a closely related field should consider the Bachelor of Applied Science in applied science (early childhood studies) program, which has a parallel curriculum. This program doesn't lead to teacher certification. If you are seeking teacher certification, you should enroll in one of the other Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation undergraduate programs or one of the accelerated program options.
