Master of Arts degree in Special Education: Early Childhood Education
General Information
Welcome to UNC’s fully online Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) master’s program homepage. Recent program revisions have incorporated Early Childhood standards as well as Early Childhood Special Education standards to support our promotion of intervention in inclusive settings through the birth to age 8 age range. Our program has a strong focus on promoting families as partners, collaborative and cross-disciplinary service approaches, recommended intervention practices that are based on research evidence, and appropriate practices for work with children and their families across a range of abilities and cultural experiences.
Candidates may earn either a Master’s degree or an endorsement. Those who have earned a master’s degree in another area may either apply for a second master’s degree or a non-degree licensure in ECSE. Candidates who wish to pursue an initial teacher’s license will take additional courses through the university’s Professional Teacher Education Program (PTEP).
