North Seattle College

Bachelors in Applied Science

Subject 
Early Childhood Education

The early childhood education BAS (ECE BAS) degree is designed for students who desire to work as a lead teacher or administrator in an early learning setting, as well as those who already work in the field and seek ongoing professional development. The ECE BAS degree is an extension of the Early Childhood Education Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree, which is built around the statewide Stackable Certificates in Early Childhood Education. However, students with AA or AAS degrees in other fields, or bachelor’s degrees outside of early childhood education will be qualified to enter the baccalaureate degree program, potentially with some additional coursework.
