Early Childhood Education (AA-DTA)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees and Certificates

The Associate in Arts Degree with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education provides a broad background in general education as well as study in early childhood education. It is designed for students transferring to four-year colleges and universities. Students should work closely with an advisor at the baccalaureate institution they plan to transfer to before finalizing their education plan.

The Olympic College Early Childhood Education Program is based on the Washington State Core Competencies for Early Childhood and School Age Care Professions. A copy of the Core Competencies can be found at www.del.wa.gov/publications/partnerships/docs/CoreCompetencies.pdf.

Note


See course description for prerequisite. Unless otherwise specified, a minimum of 2.0 is required in the prerequisite.

Quarter by Quarter Plan


The following is a list of suggested courses to meet the requirements for this degree. This plan assumes a student starts in Fall Quarter, has tested into college-level English and Math, and wishes to maintain a full-time courseload. This plan can be modified with the help of a Faculty Advisor. We strongly recommend students meet with a Faculty Advisor within their first 2 quarters at Olympic College to review their Quarter By Quarter Plan.
