Child Study & Early Education Licensure

Pathway to Early Childhood PreK-2nd Grade Professional License

The M.Ed in Child Study and Early Education also offers an opportunity for teachers who currently hold an initial teaching license with at least 3 years of teaching experiences in PreK-2nd grades to receive a professional teaching license.

This program leads to a professional teacher licensure in Massachusetts.  Please contact Seon Yeong Yu, seonyeon [at] educ [dot] umass [dot] edu (seonyeon[at]educ[dot]umass[dot]edu), for more information about how to determine whether this program will be appropriate for you.

Note: The education specialist degree (EdS) is an option for students who would like to pursue an advanced degree beyond a masters, without the dissertation component of the doctorate.
