Early Childhood Education (Consecutive Diploma/Degree) Program at George Brown College

FULL DESCRIPTION

Early Childhood Education (Consecutive Diploma/Degree) is a four-year program that leads to both an Early Childhood Education (ECE) diploma from George Brown College and a Bachelor of Arts Early Childhood Studies degree from Ryerson University.

As a student in this program, you will spend the first two years earning your ECE diploma at the Sally Horsfall Eaton Centre for Studies in Community Health, located at George Brown's Ryerson Campus (co-operatively managed with George Brown), and the latter two years completing your Early Childhood Studies degree at Ryerson University.

This program offers some distinct advantages:

• college-level tuition fees for the first two years, rather than higher university fees
• classes with George Brown College faculty who are national leaders in applied ECE
• practical training at one of George Brown’s 12 child care lab schools located across the Greater Toronto Area
• direct entry into the third year of the Ryerson degree program
• expanded career scope and direction by earning both a diploma and degree in ECE
