Independence University Announces Its Associate (AS) Degree in Early Childhood Education

Salt Lake City, UT, Sep 28, 2009 – Education is one of the careers that show a steady growth curve.

In keeping up with the commitment of supporting steady career and long term employment for many prospects, Independence University now announces an Associate Degree program in Early Childhood Education.

An Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education will equip graduates with the knowledge and understanding of child development, child center administration, health and safety, the sciences, social sciences, and the arts among other related subjects.
