Why Study Early Childhood Education at UND?
As you earn your early childhood education degree, you'll focus on children in the context of family, culture and community. You'll explore developmentally appropriate practices, emergent curriculum, descriptive assessment, and problem-solving approaches to resolving conflict and choices for children.
The early childhood education program is part of the College of Education & Human Development. Most classes are small, with about 12-25 students per class. All classes are capped at 25 students, meaning you'll receive individual attention.
Accreditation
Programs within the College are fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
