BS in Early Childhood Education in a Mobile Society

Children and families are increasingly mobile. This is especially true for military families, immigrant families, families who must travel to make a living, homeless families, and families living in poverty. Young children and their families need professional support from individuals interested in working with them in a society that is always "on the go." That person could be you. Early Childhood Education in a Mobile Society (ECEMS) prepares you to work in early childhood settings with young children whose family members are highly mobile.

When you complete the program, you will be qualified to work in various programs that offer early care and education for children birth to age 8. Some of these programs are:

• Childcare centers and homes
• Infant/toddler and preschool programs
• Head Start programs
• Before and after-school programs for children ages birth to eight

The University of Nebraska Lincoln is a nationally recognized, research 1, land-grant institution. Founded in 1869 has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools since the association first started accrediting colleges and universities in 1913. Also, various colleges, schools, departments, and programs within the University of Nebraska Lincoln are accredited by their respective professional accrediting agencies.

Our distance courses are the same courses that we offer to students who come to campus to study. They are taught by the same nationally recognized, award-winning faculty that teach in-person, on-campus. Distance programs must go through the same academic review processes that in-person programs undergo. Because distance programs are as academically rigorous as the equivalent in-person programs, your diploma does not state that your degree was earned online. It looks no different from the one earned by students who come to campus for all their classes.
