Early Childhood Education Programs at EAC
Eastern Arizona’s early childhood education program offers two degrees with easy transfer to a four-year program, as well as a degree and certificate that build skills to take straight to the workforce and prepare you to apply for the National Child Development Association credential. You are invited to visit campus to explore the right program to achieve your goals in becoming an early childhood education professional.
Which Early Childhood Education Program is Right for You?
The Early Childhood Education Certificate is designed for early childhood teacher training. The AAS degree builds on the ECE certificate, giving you additional skills to accompany certification in the field.
The Associate of Applied Science-Bachelor of Applied Science completes the first two years of a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Early Childhood Education. The BAS does not lead to teacher certification, but is a helpful degree for center directors, supervisors, and lead teachers.
Our Associate of Arts offers the courses needed to fulfill AGEC-A to ensure an easy transfer to a Bachelor of Arts program, which can lead to teacher certification and builds on the requirements for the national credential. This degree also prepares you to meet the Arizona Department of Education early childhood education content requirements.
