The Division of Graduate Studies has recently added a master’s degree program in elementary education. By working through the School of Humanities and Sciences, students will be able to pursue child education, specifically for grades 1-6. The program lasts 13 months, incorporating theory and practice with the Ithaca City School District. Those in the program will complete education coursework, as well as participating in diverse community field work.

Distinctive features of the proposed new graduate program in Childhood Education include:
• College-School District Collaboration
• Theory-Practice Connections
• Multiculturally Diverse Field Placements
• Reflective Practice and Continuing Professional Development.
