Master of Science
This 16-month program prepares teacher candidates to become classroom teachers in pre-school through grade 3, as well as special education teachers in preschool through third grade. Candidates engage with young children from the start of their program, spending a full school year working alongside practicing educators in local public schools. During the summer, candidates will develop Project Based Learning activities, and then work with Early Childhood students during a summer learning program sponsored by SNHU. This program is competency-based, ensuring graduates of this program are fully prepared to teach in the growing number of NH schools who have adopted a competency-based approach to teaching and learning. Teachers with certifications in both Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education are sought after by school districts looking to hire new teachers. Students must pass the Praxis Core Academic Skills or approved equivalent prior to enrolling in their third semester.
