Virtual | Early Childhood General Education - Advanced Standing Program

On Monday, October 19, 2026 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM EST, the Office of Graduate Admissions will be hosting a virtual information session for our Early Childhood General Education - Advanced Standing program.

If you are currently a lead teacher working with children from birth through second grade in a publicly funded program, the Early Childhood Advanced Standing Program is for you!

With this 16-month program, you will earn your master’s degree while maintaining your current teaching position and receiving credit for the teaching experience you already have. You will join a supportive cohort of like-minded peers and faculty to explore advanced topics in human development and early learning and learn how to incorporate innovative teaching techniques that prioritize play, social interaction, and sensory experiences, as well as engagement in the world of literacy, literature, mathematics, science, arts, and social studies. Making use of your own classroom, you will closely observe children while actively engaging them with what you are learning in your courses.

Our next cohort begins in the Spring of 2027.

We encourage you to bring your questions, as most of our time will be dedicated to answering them!
