This early childhood studies degree program requires two field experiences at two different grade levels. Prior to participation in the field experiences, the student will be required to purchase and submit documentation of liability insurance. Field sites may have additional requirements (e.g., background check, fingerprinting, and certain immunizations). It is the student’s responsibility to determine if these requirements would impact their ability to participate in the required field experiences.
