The 12 credit minor is open to all students.OPTION 1. ECCE Minors for Students Seeking NYS TeachingCertificationThe Department of Early Childhood and Childhood Educationoffers undergraduate minor programs that allow students tocomplete many of the prerequisites required for graduateprograms that lead to NYS initial teaching certification in:Childhood Education (Grades 1-6)In addition, for students who wish to pursue NYS initial teachingcertification, an additional two tracks are offered that lead tocertification upon completion. These tracks are called Minor toMasters programs and students may apply once they havecompleted the 12 credit minor.ECCE Minor: 12 Credits of 300-Level ECCE Coursework:CreditsECE 301 The Child in Historical, Political and SocioculturalContexts: Child Study and Development—Birth to Grade 6 3

At the undergraduate level,students can meet many of the requirements for NYS teachingcertification in childhood or in early childhood education whilecompleting their bachelor's degree. Upon satisfactory completionof the minor, they may apply for a "fast track" 30 credit graduateprogram specifically designed for them that will lead to stateteaching certification if they meet program continuationrequirements.Each Minor to Master's program is composed of four ECCE 300level courses (12 credits), four 400 level courses (12 credits)completed during the senior year of the undergraduate program,46-66 credits of NYS and college liberal arts requirements, and anacademic major (variable credits).Candidates who apply to a Minor to Master's program in the finalsemester of their junior year may be qualified to pursue either a30 credit graduate program in Childhood Education with orwithout a Bilingual Extension or a 30 credit graduate program inEarly Childhood Education with or without a Bilingual Extension.Students interested in beginning a Minor to Master's programtrack in their senior year must complete the following courseworkprior to applying to the program:12 Credits of 300-Level ECCE Coursework:CreditsECE 302 Children, Families, Communities, and Schools inHistorical, Political and Sociocultural Contexts—Birth to Grade 6 3ECE 304 Foundations of Early Language and LiteracyDevelopment in Historical, Political and Sociocultural Contexts,Birth to Grade Two 3ECE 311 The Teaching Profession in Historical, Political andSociocultural Contexts —Birth to Sixth Grade 3NOTE: ECE 301, ECE 302, ECE 311: May be taken in any order;however, to register for ECE 304, students must declare theminor in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and havecompleted ECE 301.Students Interested in Pursuing NYS Initial TeachingCertificationThe Department of Early Childhood and Childhood Educationoffer two minor tracks that allow students to complete a minor inECCE education as well as many of the prerequisites required forgraduate programs that lead to NYS initial teaching certification:Minor to Masters Track 1: Childhood Education (Grades 1-6) orChildhood Education (Grades 1-6) with a Bilingual ExtensionMinor to Masters Track 2 Early Childhood Education or EarlyChildhood Education with a Bilingual ExtensionThese particular programs are referred to as "Minor to Masters"programs and offer qualified students the opportunity to earn botha Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Science in Educationdegree in five and a half years.

All students benefit from an understandingchildren’s literacy acquisition and use; therefore, all students will now enroll in ECE 304 to meet the minor requirements. In themove from offering two 12-credit minor options to one, each of the new minor courses will incorporate aspects of the historical,political, and sociocultural contexts of education that are germane to that specific course.b) Procedural Rationale1- Offering two different 12-credit minors presents several procedural problems, which the proposed 12-credit minor will correct.a- Repeated explanations in individual advisement sessionsb- Evolving student interests requiring changes from one minor option to the otherc- Varying faculty advisement approaches may perplex studentsd- Students experience confusion and uncertainty about their minor choices

e- Individual advisement is presently requisite for students progressing to the Minor to Master’s program followingcompletion of the minor; the existence of one minor would make individual advisement for minor students unnecessaryf- Existence of two minors has caused difficulty for departments such as the Registrar.Date of Early Childhood and Childhood Education Department Approval: January 29, 2020Date of Senate Approval: May 6, 2020AIII.2 The following revisions are proposed for the Exercise Science, B.S.Name of Program and Degree Award: Exercise Science, B.S.Hegis Number: 1299.30Program Code: 32639Effective Term: Spring 2021FROM:TO:Exercise Science B.S.
