About the Childhood Education Program

The Master of Science in Childhood Education was designed for individuals who have an earned bachelor’s degree in one of the arts and science fields and who want to become teachers in grades 1 to 6. In addition, teachers who have initial certification in another area may use this program to qualify for professional certification in their first area and initial certification in childhood education.

Graduates of the program are able to integrate instructional technology throughout content study, are capable of planning and selecting strategies and materials that foster multicultural understanding, and have the knowledge and skills needed to engage children in successful constructivist learning practices. The program incorporates instructional technology throughout the curriculum. Program content and experiences are aligned with state certification requirements and successful completion of all parts of the program leads to endorsement for certification.
