Early Childhood (M.Ed.)

The Master of Education in early childhood education is for college graduates with a degree in another discipline who wish to become certified teachers. You will earn a master’s degree and a teaching certification in your chosen area. The curriculum allows for concurrent study leading to general special education certification for grades K–12.

The initial certification masters programs culminate in a 16- week student teaching practicum and corresponding seminar, EDU 571. This valuable experience allows you to intern full-time under the direct supervision of a cooperating teacher. During this placement, you gradually take on the role of the classroom teacher.
