If you’d like to influence the lives of our youngest learners, an Associate’s degree in Early childhood and Childhood education will give you the foundation you need to excel. Part of a collaboration between SUNY New Paltz and SUNY Ulster, students in this program will gain a broad base of knowledge in the concentration of their choice (English, French, History, or Spanish) at SUNY Ulster before transferring to the elementary education program at New Paltz. Students planning to transfer to a college other than SUNY New Paltz will receive individual advisement to facilitate their transfer.
