Bradley University

As an early childhood education major, you will be licensed to teach in nursery school, preschool and kindergarten through second grade. The degree includes special education certification for the state of Illinois and an ESL endorsement that requires 100 hours of field experience. To ensure you spend as much time as possible in classrooms, you observe classes your first year and will work in classrooms throughout your four years at Bradley. You also have opportunities to tutor children and mentor adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities.
