Unified Early Childhood Studies B.A.Sc.

Education
College of Education and Human Service Professions
  • Program Type: Baccalaureate
  • Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2015
  • Required credits to graduate with this degree: 134 to 135
  • Required credits within the major: 109 to 110
  • This program requires summer terms.
  • Mesabi Range Community and Technical College, Virginia, MN. A collaboration between MRCTC and UMD resulted in the creation of several lower division courses at Mesabi designed to meet identified licensure standards and to transfer to UMD. Students interested in early childhood licensure were advised to take these courses as electives in the MRCTC's Associate of Arts curriculum. These students are now eligible to apply for admission to the UMD licensure program. The intent of the plan for off-site delivery was to provide a program in the communities in which the students lived, where they wanted to eventually work, and where the early childhood teachers are needed. The courses would be partially internet delivered to provide flexibility in the delivery of the program, and to ease access constraints for students who would commute from Iron Range communities other than Virginia. The combined face-to-face and online model limits enrollment to UMD's traditional service region.
  • Degree: Bachelor of Applied Science
The unified early childhood studies program and licensures include interdisciplinary curricula that prepare students for work in a variety of settings with children of diverse ability levels, from birth through age eight. Graduates find employment in public schools, community and private preschool programs, early primary grades in elementary schools, programs for children ages birth through six with identified disabilities or delays, home and center-based child care, and Head Start programs. All students complete a common core of courses in child development, parent-child relations, early childhood curriculum and programming, early childhood special education, community resources, and educational leadership and program administration. The unified early childhood studies major leads to Minnesota licensure in early childhood education (birth through grade three) and early childhood special education. International student teaching placements are available.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements
Students must complete 54 credits before admission to the program.
Freshman and transfer students are usually admitted to pre-major status before admission to this major.
A GPA above 2.0 is preferred for the following:
  • 2.70 already admitted to the degree-granting college
  • 2.70 transferring from another University of Minnesota college
  • 2.70 transferring from outside the University
Students admitted as pre-unified early childhood (UECH) majors must apply for candidacy after completion of required lower division courses. The number of students admitted is based on availability of suitable programs for practicum experience. Students entering UECH programs are bound by the policies in effect at the time of application; admission is based on criteria established by the Dept of Educ, consistent with MN policies established by the Council for the Accreditation of Educ Prep (CAEP). Candidates selected on minimum GPA 2.70 cumulative & transfer, personal written statement, MTLE Basic Skills Test for licensure or passing scores on ACT + Writing or SAT Exam, demonstrated commitment to working with children, 3 letters from professional who have observed student working with children, minimum supervised 60 hour past 2 yrs, C- or better in major required courses. Students apply fall of their sophomore year; transfer students may be admitted with advanced standing.
