Bachelor of Science - Childhood Education

Developing teachers of young learners requires a program that combines a strong knowledge of the discipline and theory-based courses. Sustained field placements in diverse settings provide authentic learning opportunities throughout the program.

Concentrations for the childhood education certification include arts, English, modern languages (French, German, or Spanish), mathematics, science-biology, science-chemistry, science-earth science, science-physics, social studies or gender and women’s studies.

Seek your teaching field placement in regional schools throughout Central New York — or urban centres that include Syracuse, Rochester and New York City. Take advantage of study abroad opportunities, with education coursework offered in the Czech Republic, Paris and Benin (West Africa) — or New Zealand and Australia. Our Field Placement Office can connect you with opportunities to learn in and lead classrooms in a diverse offering of locations.
