2-Year Program

Plattsburgh Campus

The Education & Human Services Program is a two-year program designed for students interested in pursuing a career in the education or human services field. The program provides students an overview of the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional characteristics and development of children. Through a combination of academics and hand son learning, students will be responsible for developing and implementing various age-appropriate lesson plans.

Pre-school age lesson plans are implemented in our very own on-site pre-school. Students learn and demonstrate developmentally appropriate knowledge of children from birth through high school age students. These, as well as other hands-on experiences, such as internships, will expose students to real-life situations and experiences in early childhood education, K-12 general and special education classrooms, and other related human services fields. Worksite experiences are provided in: Pre-K Programs, Day Care Programs, Head Start Programs, and K-12 General Education & Special Education Classrooms.
