The Major
The College of Education offers an undergraduate degree program in Early Childhood Education that leads to a B.A. in Education. Students completing this program are eligible for the Massachusetts Teacher License in Early Childhood: Students With and Without Disabilities (PreK-2) or a Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care credential as a Preschool Lead Teacher or as an Infant/Toddler Lead Teacher. Students in the Education Major must also complete a secondary major related to the field of early childhood education including majors within the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (e.g. Psychology, Sociology), School of Public Health and Health Sciences (e.g. Nutrition), College of Natural Sciences (e.g. Biology, Mathematics), and College of Humanities and Fine Arts (e.g. English, History). Students apply for admission to the Early Childhood program during their sophomore year. Prior to admission into the Education Major students should seek advising through the Educator Licensure Office (educba@educ.umass.edu). Students will also need to work with the undergraduate departmental advisers of their secondary major to ensure that all secondary major requirements are met.
