Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Teacher Associate and the Early Childhood degree?
The Teacher Associate degree is a concentration within the Early Childhood Associate program. This degree is specifically designed for students whose career goal is to work within the public school system as a Teacher Assistant. At this time, both the Early Childhood Associate and the Early Childhood Associate with the Teacher Associate concentration are viewed by public schools systems as excellent preparation for prospective teacher assistants. However, students who are interested in transferring to a university to complete a degree in Education or Birth-Kindergarten licensure would benefit more from the traditional Early Childhood degree.
