Childhood Education

The master’s degree program in childhood education (grades 1-6) is designed to meet the needs of four distinct groups of graduate students: (i) students who have earned a bachelor’s degree in a liberal arts or science area who wish to pursue initial certification as a teacher of childhood education; (ii) students who have achieved initial teacher certification in childhood education and who wish to pursue professional certification as a childhood education teacher and a master’s degree; (iii) students who seek both initial certification in childhood education and a master’s degree; and (iv) students who are interested in earning a master’s degree in childhood education, but without New York State certification.
