Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood, Unified

Program Overview

The Elementary Education Unified (EEU) education program prepares students to teach children in kindergarten through sixth grades in general education, special education, and inclusive classrooms, meeting the needs of all elementary students including those with identified disabilities and those at risk for delays. Students learn to structure rigorous learning experiences in multiple core academic content areas as well as address the social/emotional needs of individuals within and beyond each classroom, school, and into the global community.

The Secondary English education program mixes literature-based theory and knowledge with culturally rich readings and discussions. Courses taught by the English Department offer students learning options in rhetoric, linguistics, and literature.

The Foreign Languages education program offers majors in seven foreign languages: Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian or Spanish. Students in this program are encouraged to immerse themselves in the language by adding a Study Abroad experience. Note: Admission to the Chinese and Japanese languages is suspended pending licensure changes.

The Secondary History and Government education program includes multiple content courses in history, economics, political science, and geography from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Students in the program learn how to engage middle and high school students in historical and contemporary topics using effective teaching strategies.

The Unified Early Childhood (UEC) education program leads to licensure for both general education and special education in infant, toddler, preschool, and kindergarten through third grade. Students in this program prepare to work in inclusive settings to meet the learning needs of young children, including those with disabilities.
