Specializing in Early Childhood Education begins with a solid foundation in the liberal arts, including the humanities, social
sciences, mathematics, and science. In addition, studies focus
on psychology and sociology, as well as basic professional
educational studies and, of course, intense study in early
childhood education.
Students in the Early Childhood Education program will experience extensive field work. Beginning in the freshman year,
when they enroll in ED100: Introduction to Education, they will participate in fieldwork in a local public school. During the junior year they will teach for one semester in the in-house School of Education pre-school. For a kindergarten practicum, students are placed in a local public school. As a senior they may complete the
first or second grade practicum in a public school, selected by program faculty, or in one of the international schools in Australia,
Ecuador, or England that provides overseas student teaching placements
for Boston University students who are accepted into the international program.
