Early Childhood Endorsement

There are three early childhood endorsement programs available for students:

• The B-8 endorsement program for elementary education majors;
• The B-5 endorsement program for Family and Consumer Sciences/Child Development option majors (or majors in other fields related to early childhood);
• The B-5 early childhood special education program for postbaccalaureate students with a degree in education or a field related to early childhood.

In addition, undergraduate education majors may choose early childhood education as an 18 credit hour area of concentration. Specific advising in each of the early childhood program options suport students in their program development.
