The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) has an engaging early childhood teacher education program focused on teaching children from birth through age 8. We offer two four-year degree programs and a minor for students outside of early childhood education
Through meaningful and authentic coursework and field experiences, students connect theory, research and practical information. Students acquire a strong foundation of child-development and use this knowledge to inform them as they make good decisions for all children. Early childhood professors teach all the core early childhood courses and advise the students. Class sizes are small. Professors and classroom teachers’ support, guide, and encourage students as they become strong beginning teachers.
