Early Childhood Education, Research Concentration, Non-Licensure

About

The Early Childhood Research Concentration provides early childhood educators with an advanced professional degree and qualifications beyond licensure. Course work for the degree includes a focus on scholarly research, statistical analysis, and writing for professional journals. This degree is suitable for early childhood teachers who wish to pursue a doctoral degree, but is also for early childhood teachers who wish to improve and update their professional competency in teaching and enrich their teaching expertise for becoming master teachers. Teachers completing the program enhance their ability to teach effectively and to conduct powerful educational research that has a direct impact upon their individual practice and school settings.

Students choose one of two capstone options: a research thesis or an internship experience.
Completion of the program requirements leads to the upgrade of the teaching license to the Postgraduate Professional level for those holding a Virginia Collegiate Professional License or its equivalent from another state.
