The structure of the Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.) degree with a major in early childhood special education is to prepare teacher candidates to teach children in Pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in both fields of early childhood and special education general curriculum. The major in early childhood special education results in Georgia Professional Standards Commission certification in both Early Childhood and Special Education-General Curriculum (P-5).

The early childhood special education program is designed to prepare professional educators who manifest the knowledge, dispositions, and competencies deemed necessary to enhance young children's overall intellectual, social, emotional, and personal growth and development. The design of the early childhood special education undergraduate professional program includes a variety of methods and content courses. These courses are supported by structured field experiences designed to provide opportunities to meld theory with practice in field-based interactions with young children.
