Early Childhood Education - Non Certification, BAE100 creditsIntroduction/What is the Study of Early Childhood Education?The program in early childhood education consists of an academic major in Early Childhood Education and a sequence of professional courses. Upon completion of the program, candidates can work in childcare centers, preschools, Head Start programs, and in after-school programs for school-age children. The course work offers a combination of theory, methods, and field experiences in a variety of early childhood education settings. This program is for candidates who are not seeking certification to work in the public schools. Students seeking a bachelor’s degree with the academic major in Early Childhood Education must complete the General University Requirements, the Early Childhood Education (P-3) Major, and the required professional education coursework. Why Consider an Early Childhood Education - Non Certification Major?The Early Childhood Education - Non Certification major has several unique program features:
How to Declare (Admission and Declaration Process):Admission to both Western Washington University and Early Childhood Education are required before a student may begin taking courses in the professional sequence. Requirements for consideration of an application include:
Enrollment restrictions apply in all teacher education programs. Meeting the above criteria makes the applicant eligible for admission, but does not guarantee admission. Applications from students who meet all the criteria are evaluated to determine those most qualified. All applicants are then rank-ordered, and a final list created based on available openings. For further information, visit Teacher Education Admissions, Miller Hall 150, (360) 650-3313 or visit the website at http://www.wce.wwu.edu/admiss. Retention in the program requires continuous demonstration of competence in standard oral and written English in all course work. Retention also requires maintenance of a 2.75 quarterly GPA for each quarter upon admission to Early Childhood Education. Courses required for a state teaching endorsement and for the professional sequence must be completed with grades of C (2.0) or better. Prospective Early Childhood students are invited to meet with an advisor for more information about the program. The office is in Miller Hall 300 and the phone number is (360) 650-3336. Once admitted to the program, students are assigned a faculty advisor with whom they will stay in contact throughout their program.
