Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees, Minors, and Certificates

The early childhood education (birth to kindergarten) program leads to the Bachelor of Arts. Candidates may choose from two options to complete this degree: (1) interdisciplinary early childhood education certification track and (2) non-certification track. Students who wish to be certified to teach in Kentucky’s state-funded, public school, pre-kindergarten classrooms (serving 3- to 5-year-olds with and without disabilities) or in Kentucky’s early intervention system, First Steps (serving birth to 3-year-olds with disabilities), should declare a pre-major or major in IECE certification track. Candidates who wish to work in community childcare programs, Head Start, or Early Head Start programs, Kentucky’s Quality Rating System, STARS, or home visitation programs should select the non-certification track.

Those seeking the non-certification track should consult with an advisor about special application and admission requirements.
