Early Childhood Studies, B.A. for the AA-T (TMC) Degree Only


(For students completing Early Childhood Education AA-T degree)

Students who have completed the approved Early Childhood Education AA-T Transfer Degree program are eligible to graduate in 60 units. The exact pathway to complete the major will also depend on the specific AA-T curriculum. The CI Early Childhood Studies major has been modified to ensure AA-T students graduate within 60 units. As a result, it is imperative that students meet with an academic advisor for assistance with following the Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC).

Students electing to add an additional degree objective, such as a second major or minor, will not be guaranteed graduation within 60 units.
