Curriculum Guides are suggested courses of study which may include more or less than the RSCC degree requirements.

Degree: Associate of Science

The early childhood education curriculum is designed for students who wish to complete the first two years of a program toward teacher certification. This curriculum will meet the lower division requirements for transfer to a senior institution granting the bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. Due to varying requirements at four-year institutions, students are encouraged to select courses in consultation with an education advisor.
