All students must meet the and apply to the College of Education before they can register for any courses. Students in the Early Childhood Education program are admitted as part of a cohort of 30-35 students. Only one cohort is admitted each Fall semester. The program is designed to be completed after all general education requirements have been met or an Associate of Arts (AA) degree has been obtained. All students must attend a College of Education orientation before registering for any Early Childhood Education major classes.

The program is designed to be completed in five (5) semesters, following a cohort model. The cohort structure provides moral support and guarantees that you will get all the classes you need within a five-semester course track. As an Early Childhood Education student, you are required to follow the courses chosen for your cohort.

Some of our courses are offered in the evenings; however, field experiences and course scheduling require availability during the day. This is a full-time program.
