色中色 Offers New Online BA in Early Childhood Education

色中色 and the Department of Arts and Sciences is excited to announce that the Bachelors of Arts in Early Childhood Education will launch in the Fall of 2021.

The program was designed for 色中色鈥檚 service area and beyond. The online degree allows students to continue working while still obtaining their degree.

Vice President of Student and Academic Affairs Jake Rivera stated, "色中色 will continue to be a leader in providing quality and affordable online programs. The new BA in ECE is the only fully online, non-licensure program of its kind in the state of Nevada. Currently, less than 4% of Nevada鈥檚 ECE workforce has a bachelor鈥檚 degree in ECE. 色中色鈥檚 goal is that this degree will provide the needed access for rural Nevada and for those with busy schedules that are looking for professional growth opportunities."

色中色鈥檚 early childhood program provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to work effectively and professionally with young children, their families, and their communities. The degree qualifies students for such employment opportunities as paraprofessionals, teachers, and/or directors in child care centers, preschools, and home-based programs.

Mary C. Doucette, Dean of Arts and Sciences stated, "色中色 is proud to offer an online, non-licensure bachelor degree in Early Childhood Education starting this fall. This degree will offer a career pathway for current ECE students, those who have completed associate degrees, early childhood teachers, teaching assistants, directors, and/or early childhood support specialists who are employed at Head Start or in rural private programs.鈥�

Lynette Macfarlan, ECE Professor stated, 鈥淭he degree program will focus on working with children from birth through age five with an emphasis on play theory, nature-based experiences, special education including behavioral interventions, and English language acquisition development.鈥�
