Master’s degree programs

Erikson offers four master of science degree programs, most with opportunities for specialization.

Degree programs

Online master of science degree in early childhood education
   For experienced early childhood educators

All of our master's programs are built on:

  • a rigorous, integrated curriculum covering all aspects of child development. Courses draw from the fields of developmental psychology, neurobiology, anthropology, psychiatry, education, sociology, health, and social work, so you understand the whole child in the context of his or her family and culture.
  • an emphasis on the relationships that shape a child's world of learning.
  • reflective practice, a skill and habit that strengthens your work and leads to professional success.
  • a faculty of nationally recognized leaders in early childhood.

  • study with a cohort of diverse and experienced students, in small classes with close relationships among faculty and students.

These elements distinguish Erikson — and its graduates — from others in the field.
