What makes an OBU Early Childhood Education degree special? As a future teacher in early childhood education, students receive pertinent information and practical experiences that are relevant to the current needs of today?s classrooms.

What are OBU grads doing with their Early Childhood Education degrees? There are many opportunities available for students with an early childhood degree. Most students are seeking a teaching position with young children within the public school systems of Oklahoma and Texas. With more preschools being established, students are choosing to enter the field of education in this exciting area. Some seek the areas of Administrator in a Head Start program or as a Parents as Teacher?s Facilitator. While some graduates pursue to be a Faith Community Coordinator and Educator, others are interested in the area of child care as a Child Care Center Director/Owner/Coordinator. What courses can I take? Because early childhood programs support the use of manipulatives in a child?s learning, some of the courses include practical hands-on experiences. For example, early childhood science classes perform many experiments using such items as magnets, batteries and bulbs, and color chemistry sets. Social studies for young children create opportunities for students to work in small groups to develop fun as well as active learning centers for their future teaching classes. Other courses invite guest speakers and incorporate field trips to expand one?s learning in a particular field of study. View more details on Oklahoma Baptist University .
