Associate in Applied Science
The Early Childhood program leads to an Associate in Applied Science degree and is designed to prepare graduates for immediate employment or to enhance the skills and advancement opportunities of those already employed.

ECE 110 - Introduction to Early Education (3 credits), ECE 175 - Techniques of Observation and Evaluation (3 credits), and ECE 120 - Curriculum Development (3 credits) are recommended.
A certificate in Early Childhood may be awarded with successful completion of the first two semesters of coursework.

Some Early Childhood Education courses may transfer for those seeking early childhood teacher certification. Verify with transfer institution.
