About the PreK–4 Master’s Degree Program

PreK–4 or Dual certification with Special Education (PreK-4/PreK–8) master’s and certification programs are designed to provide the student with both the conceptual and skill understandings of best practices in working with young children and in designing meaningful learning environments for young children. Students have the choice of pursuing a concurrent masters and certification program in PreK–4 or in Dual certification with Special Education (PreK-4/Prek–8). The master’s degree is not required for certification, and certification requirements may vary based on academic experience. See Certification Requirements.

Students may also have the option of creating a Master’s program by including one or more Arcadia certificates. A student wanting to do a M.Ed with a concentration in Early Childhood/ Elementary may consider including an Early Childhood Leadership Certificate, Infant Toddler Mental Health Certificate and a Director’s Credential Certificate.
