This option has two tracks from which a student can choose. One track leads to Professional Education Licensure to teach children, graduates are qualified to teach in birth to grade three programs and classrooms, preschool, and prekindergarten programs for children with special needs. The second track (non-licensure/ECH Gateway Credential) leads to the completion of Gateway credentials, rather than teaching licensure, graduates are qualified to teach children outside of a classroom, such as day care centers and pre-kindergarten programs.
