Master of Education (M.Ed.)
Program in Early Childhood Education

The Early Childhood M.Ed. teacher preparation program is offered on all five campuses of The Ohio State University. It is a full-time graduate program that can be completed in five quarters, although the sequence may vary from campus to campus. Most of the professional courses and fieldwork are scheduled during the day and are open only to those students who have been admitted to the program.

The program includes a series of professional courses leading to initial Ohio teacher licensure for pre-kindergarten through third grade. Students engage in a coherent series of courses in child development and learning, teaching methods, technology, diversity, field experiences, a clinical practicum, a research and inquiry component, and a culminating project focused on critical issues in education.

The goal of the program is to prepare dedicated individuals to apply their knowledge and skills of learning theory, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and interpersonal communication in the early childhood school setting.
