Early
childhood education - M.Ed. programs
If you are interested in working with very young children, you will
find no more exciting place to pursue your career development. Work with
faculty from three nationally ranked programs — child development,
educational psychology, and curriculum and instruction (ranked,
respectively, third, eighth, and 19th in the nation by U.S.News and World Report) — and gain hands-on experience at the
College's lab nursery school, an internationally recognized model. You
also will have immediate access to such unique University resources as the
Consortium for Children, Youth, and
Families and the Center for Early
Education and Development. The program offers an integrated approach
to early childhood development, early childhood education, and early childhood special education,
providing you with professional preparation that significantly increases
your marketability.
This program is offered through the departments
of Curriculum &
Instruction (C&I),
Educational
Psychology (EdPsy), and
Institute of
Child Development (ICD).
