This program is for individuals who wish to expand their career options by earning a master of education degree but do not wish to pursue early childhood education teaching certification. If you do wish to pursue certification, view our master's degree with certification program. As an early childhood education graduate student, you'll have the opportunity to complete an internship in an early childhood/preschool setting under the supervision of a sponsoring organization and the University. This internship, contingent upon approval by the program coordinator, is only required if you do not have previous early childhood education experience (i.e., formal work and/or teaching experience working with pre-K to grade 4 children).

• This professional graduate program is centered on research-based best practices in the field of early childhood education.

• Our focus on experiential learning will prepare you to be a top classroom leader.

• Cal U has a 160-year reputation for producing top teachers in Pennsylvania and beyond.
