EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
This recommended transfer program
for early childhood education students meets the requirements for an associate
in arts degree and the recommendations of the Illinois Articulation Initiative
early childhood education major panel. Harper also offers an associate
in applied science degree in early childhood education. Students should
check individual school requirements before completing the curriculum
as outlined. Admission into baccalaureate early childhood education programs
is competitive; completion of these courses alone does not guarantee admission.
