BA Early Childhood Education and Deaf Education

This degree gives students the opportunity to have more flexibility in their careers.Having both licenses allows teachers to move back and forth between deaf education and early grades in elementary education, and the background in early childhood education makes students better and more well-rounded teachers for the deaf.Students in USU s teacher education program undergo extensive practicum experiences so that by the time they participate in student teaching in deaf schools (during the master's program), they have gained enough experience to be competent teachers of the deaf in all subject areas.
