Program Description

The Early Childhood Education degree places emphasis on the needs of children from birth to grade 2 in urban districts. Balance your rigorous course load with on-the-ground experiences in classrooms and you’ll graduate ready to be a New York State-certified teacher.

The Teaching Professions Scholarship, funded by the New York State Education Department Teacher Opportunity Corps II (TOC II), allows Monroe College to offer qualified, diverse candidates the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education with no out-of-pocket tuition costs, regardless of income. TOC II candidates must be New York State residents who want to pursue teaching in New York State.

Monroe’s education program, taught by dedicated faculty, combines pedagogy and content knowledge to make sure you are a well-trained, skillful teacher. Your course load is a challenging mix of academics with guided fieldwork every semester to give you opportunities to practice what your'e learning in real classrooms. But don’t worry: your professors and cooperating teachers will be there to guide you every step of the way.

There may be additional costs by this University.
