In recent years educators and policymakers have come to understand the critical role that early childhood education plays in establishing a strong foundation for later academic success. As the demand for high quality early childhood education has grown so too has the need for talented leaders in this field.
To meet the growing demand for excellent leadership, the UM-Dearborn School of Education is launching a new Master's degree for professionals in the field. The Master of Arts in Early Childhood Education includes three program
options for teachers, administrators, other service providers and
educators who wish to advance their knowledge and skills regarding the design and delivery of high quality programs for young children and their
families.
Two program options are for those who are certified
teachers in the state of Michigan. A third option is for professionals who are not currently certified teachers but who are
interested in early childhood leadership and administration.
Courses are
offered with the working professional in mind. Most courses required
for the master's degree are offered during evening and summer hours and
include several online courses. More information about the new program can be found on the SOE website.
News of the program was carried in the University of Michigan Record Update and the UM-Dearborn Reporter.
