Early Childhood Leadership & Advocacy
The undergraduate Early Childhood Leadership and Advocacy program is designed for experienced early childhood professionals who seek a part-time, web-based program.
Program Overview
Students will be admitted to the University of Dayton after earning an associate's degree (or equivalent) in early childhood or a related field and also meeting the UD general education requirements. These requirements include: western civilization; physical science; life science; college composition; contemporary mathematics; introductory courses in philosophy, religion and communication; upper-level courses in historical study, art study, religion or philosophy and social science; and, other elective coursework.
Combined with the associate's degree, students who wish to complete the bachelor of science degree in early childhood leadership and advocacy will need to transfer in at least 76 semester hours. Nine of the 76 hours must come from a four-year institution.
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science after another 45 hours are completed at UD for a total of 121 semester hours; and/or, a University-issued undergraduate certificate in early childhood leadership and advocacy.
