Development Degree Paths
Child Development

studies in social science, human services,
education, child and family health, family
law, counseling, or college teaching. It also
provides excellent preparation to those who
have, or will have, families.
Child Development Practitioner Option
The Practitioner Option is an accelerated,
year-round, cohort-based program tailored
to the unique career needs of professionals
working in Early Care and Education. It
provides advanced preparation in child
development theory and in early childhood
practice. This option has limited enrollment.
Students must meet eligibility requirements
and complete an application process in or-der
to be considered for admission. Under
the California Child Development Permit
structure, the bachelor’s degree qualifies
practitioners for master teacher, site supervi-sor,
and program director levels.
Note: The Child Development Practitioner
Option is not a credential preparation
program.
Pre-Credential Option

elementary school teachers for the
challenges of the contemporary classroom.
It provides students with comprehensive
preparation in child development and family
science to prepare future teachers to under-stand
and work effectively with children
and parents. It includes interdisciplinary
coursework that addresses California State
Standards requirements and is aimed at
