Early Childhood Education

Admission to Degree Program

Students are accepted into the early childhood education teacher preparation program by application only. The application review process includes the following:

  1. Completion of the ECE exploratory experience. Instruction packet available in EAC, 120 MCKB.
  2. The Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST), all three sections.
  3. Successful completion (B grade or above) of the following core and preprofessional courses: MFHD 160, 210, 321/322.
  4. Be fingerprinted. Check with EAC (120 MCKB) for instructions.
  5. A university cumulative GPA of 2.85 or higher.

To conform to the requirements for professional accreditation and certification, the early childhood education degree program must limit enrollment. Therefore, not everyone who applies will be automatically accepted. Check with the EAC, 120 MCKB, for application due dates.

The Discipline

Early childhood education prepares teachers who, having gained their own liberal education, help preschool, kindergarten, and primary-grade-school-age children learn by improving the teaching children receive in the home, school, church, and community. Early childhood education provides a preparation program wherein students enhance their thinking abilities, build their confidence in exploring new ideas, and become self-motivated, independent learners.

The program provides the opportunity for prospective teachers to learn about the culture of young children, develop a solid foundation in basic principles of teaching and learning that originate in developmental theory and research, and become proficient in appropriate practices to implement those basic principles in practical settings.

Career Opportunities

A degree in early childhood education leads to certification in pre-K through grade 3. The kindergarten endorsement can only be obtained as part of the Early Childhood Certificate. Students in this major are certified to teach kindergarten through primary grades in the public schools as well as in private and public preschools. See the advisement center for details.

Certification Procedures

Students are responsible for keeping the EAC informed of their progress toward certification. If any changes are to be made in the certification program outlined in this catalog, the student must prepare and circulate the necessary memoranda to obtain approval from both the academic major department and secondary education.

To avoid undue delay certifying, students are urged to arrange for a personal review of their EAC file well in advance of registering for their final semester, because completion of graduation requirements does not necessarily mean that all certification requirements have been met.
Students who have already received a degree in an academic area and wish to obtain a secondary teaching certificate should contact the Admissions Office for specific information.

Teaching Majors, Teaching Minors, and Composite Teaching Majors

The following is a list of teaching majors and minors offered jointly with the Department of Teacher Education and other academic departments throughout the university.
