Child and Human Development
Snow's programs in child and human development offer specific training in the education and care of young children. The program deepens the student's understanding of children, their families and developmentally appropriate practices while preparing students for careers in early childhood education. Students will gain a strong foundation in child development, curriculum writing, environmental planning, and guidance of young children that allows students to immediately take classroom and lab learning into the workplace to create quality developmentally appropriate learning environments.
Apply NowWhile we recommend that early education students earn the Associate of Science (AS), an AA in education is also available. The Associate of Arts has the same requirements as the AS with the addition of a foreign language (complete a 1020-level language course). Please see your academic advisor for full details.
