Intended for educators of students in preschool or early elementary (Pre-K through 2nd grade), this program leads to an M.A. (36 credits) and/or an Early Childhood ZS endorsement (27 credits) that can be added to an existing Michigan elementary teaching certificate with successful completion of the appropriate Michigan Test for Teacher Certification. A similar program with an emphasis on Montessori methodology is also offered; see Early Childhood Education: Montessori page.
