Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education P-3

The Early Childhood Education P-3 major is designed for students who wish to become licensed to teach preschool through grade 3. Coursework and field experience provide multiple opportunities for applied understanding of children's growth and development, building family and community relationships, conducting observations and assessments, understanding developmentally appropriate practices, implementing curriculum, and promoting the well-being of young children and their families. Students must receive a grade of "C" or higher in all required courses, and must be admitted into the Teacher Education Program prior to taking their upper division methods and practicum coursework.
