It assists professionals in meeting industry standards in designing, delivering, and assessing early childhood curricula and environments.
- Students who complete this degree are interested in pursuing careers working with young children, ages 0-8 years and their families. Social service agencies, community-based early childhood care and education facilities and family/community support specialists are options.
- Students who are planning on teaching in a secondary school are required to have a specified ACT score or to take an alternative test (determined by the State of Illinois) prior to transferring to an upper-division institution. Students should contact their transfer institution for more specific information associated with possible tests required for advancement in that program and for more information associated with this.
