Program Overview
The Childhood Literacy Program is a 36-credit program that can be completed only with part-time study over a minimum of two years. Applications are reviewed during the spring application period and may begin the program in the summer or fall of the same year. The degree leads to New York State (NYS) initial and professional certifications in Literacy Birth-Grade 6. It will also meet the state’s permanent/professional certification education requirement for PreK-6, Early Childhood, or Childhood provisional/initial certification.
