Early Childhood Special Education Specialization

The Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) specialization prepares educators and other professionals to work with infant, toddler and preschool-age children with exceptionalities and their families.

There are 3 options in the ECSE program:

• 4-year ITEP: Integrated Teacher Education Program, a bachelor's plus credential pathway for current undergrad students
• 2-semester stand-alone credential option
• 4-semester stand-alone credential option

Apply online and allow yourself adequate time to gather the information and complete the application. There are several details that require your attention, and in some cases, you may have to request information from others. If you have questions or need clarifications after reviewing the material, you may contact the department office for assistance.
