Early Childhood Education Associate in Education

Skagit Valley College ETPL

This degree offers the needed preparation in critical ECED content (as recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children Associates Degree Standards) for employment up-on graduation, but also prepares students for future transfer to a four-year college or university. It also meets the current emphasis in ECED for teachers with a broader knowledge of general education.

Careers for graduates

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
