Course Info

Summary

The Early Childhood Education (Pre-K-4) graduate teacher education certification program is a 46-credit program designed to prepare students for preschool and elementary classrooms in Pennsylvania and in many other states.

Those who are seeking to teach in the early grade levels will acquire the knowledge, skill, and disposition to become an effective leading teacher in the classroom. Those who are currently teaching and looking to teach a different grade level will be prepared with the skills for a smooth transition. In addition to the course work, students will complete formal classroom visits, known as field experiences, explore different perspectives, and be face-to-face with social justice issues in the field. With Duquesne's premier location, in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, candidates will have the opportunity to visit classrooms in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

In addition to field experiences in local and regional schools, you will have the opportunity to study abroad. As a partner university, Duquesne University students have the opportunity to be placed by IU Global Gateway in an overseas student teaching experience in one of 18 countries. Participating countries include, but are not limited to, Australia, Costa Rica, England, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, and Tanzania.
