Associate level early childhood education professionals have the knowledge and skills needed to immediately enter the workforce and teach and care for children birth to age eight in a variety of programs and settings. Graduates are prepared to direct and teach in child care centers, teach in public and private preschools and Head Start programs, and to serve as instructional aides in pre-kindergarten-grade 3 elementary classrooms.
Graduates are also prepared to transfer with the MTA and early childhood education coursework needed for bachelor completion programs through the University Center. Students can reference the individual guided pathway sheets for Lake Superior State University (LSSU) BS in Early Childhood Education and Spring Arbor University (SAU) Elementary Education with the ZS Endorsement. The guided pathways promote the course selections in the associate degree that will efficiently transfer to the selected senior institution bachelor completion program.
