This program was designed to meet the growing need for Pre-K programs in private, religious, or federal sites. The state of Alabama First Class Pre-K programs or Office of School Readiness (OSR) will be opening new sites and urging students to consider this career field while earning a competitive salary. Federal Head Start programs now require lead teachers to have an earned bachelor’s degree, therefore, the Child and Social Development major will meet this requirement. The program is open to any qualified applicants. Students enrolled in this program can complete a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Child and Social Development. A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 will be required for all courses counted toward the major with no grade less than a “C” in the major.
