There is a moratorium for the Unified Early Childhood ProTeach program starting Fall 2020. To view the Early Childhood Education Bachelors program, please visit education.ufl.edu/early-childhood-bachelors.
If you have questions, please contact EduGator Central at studenthelp@coe.ufl.edu.
The Unified Early Childhood ProTeach program is an interdisciplinary teacher education program designed to prepare educators to work with all children from the earliest ages to grade 3 (including those with disabilities and from diverse backgrounds). The program results in eligibility for the Preschool (birth to 4 years) Certificate, Prekindergarten/Primary (age 3 to grade 3) Certificate, the ESOL Endorsement and the Prekindergarten Disability Endorsement.
Completion of the program involves a fifth year of study and culminates in a master’s degree in Early Childhood for those students accepted into the UF Graduate School. Otherwise, this becomes a year of post-baccalaureate study. Admission to the junior year does not guarantee admission to the graduate program.
