CAREER DESCRIPTION
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood
Development has been developed with the cooperation and
support of Southern Oregon University (SOU). The degree is
fully articulated with SOU’s Early Childhood Development
(ECD) program and allows students to transfer directly as
juniors and be able to being the ECD coursework at SOU
with no loss of credits to pursue a bachelor’s degree. The
program offers an excellent balance of education and
general education courses that support advanced study in
the field of early childhood development.
Students should contact the SOU School of Education early
in the second year of their AS program to be advised about
additional requirements and procedures for admission to
SOU. Students should be aware that if they transfer before
completing this degree, their courses will be evaluated
individually toward the general education requirements in
effect at SOU.
Complete up to 120 credits at Umpqua Community College,
followed by 60 Upper Division online credits through
SOU (I80 credits total). The Umpqua Community College
component consists of the following two requirements:
1. Complete the Associate of Science (AS) in Early Childhood
Development Education at Umpqua Community College
(103 credits).
2. Satisfy all of the General Education Requirements
described below. The AS degree satisfies some General
Education requirements. The remaining credits should be
chosen to complete the requirements described below.
Work closely with your academic advisor to plan your
course schedule.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Students are required to take the college placement test(s) at
UCC to determine skill level and readiness indicated by test
scores. To help ensure student success, students must begin
with the courses within their skill levels as determined by
placement test scores (e.g. math, world languages if desired,
etc.) In addition, students may also be required to enroll in
classes that would increase their academic success.
In addition, students will be required to enroll in the Oregon
Childcare Registry to complete the criminal background
check, obtain a Food Handler’s Certificate, First Aid and
CPR card and show proof of immunizations including
MMR, in order to participate in the ECE Practicum and
Seminar courses.
