• Children at a young age need dedicated teachers to provide them positive experiences that foster a love of learning: their later performance in school is frequently inaugurated by early success.
  • The Department of Teaching, Learning and Educational Leadership (TLEL) offers an innovative Master of Science in Education (MSEd) program in Childhood and Early Childhood Education.

This program leads to multiple New York State teaching certifications, allowing graduates to work with children from birth through grade 6 in a variety of different roles. Two tracks are available:

  • Childhood, Early Childhood and Literacy
  • Childhood, Early Childhood and Special Education

Under the guidance of distinguished professors and top-tier teachers in partnership schools and early childhood programs, students will become teachers with clearly defined commitments and the ability to make a real difference in the lives of children and their families.
