There are three Child Study concentration options. The first two options (A and B) are for students not interested in teacher certification.

Option A is for students who do not have an associate degree in early childhood education.
Option B is for students who have earned an associate degree in early childhood education.
Option C will provide an undergraduate program that will allow the student to move on to a certification or master’s degree program in early childhood education.
Option D - Montessori Focus is for students who are interested in earning a degree with a focus on Montessori history, methods and philosophy of education.

Students interested in teacher certification should contact their State Department of Education for current requirements.
