A Northland university is one of only a few not-for-profit higher learning institutions in the U.S. to offer an online early childhood education Bachelor of Science program tailored for preschool teachers and directors, according to a press release. The program at Park University is timely given that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics identifies employment of preschool teachers as faster than average with an expected growth of 19 percent before 2018. By 2013, at least 50 percent of Head Start teachers must have a bachelor's or advanced degree in early childhood education (or comparable coursework and experience teaching preschool-age children) to help satisfy new education standards mandated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The university's education programs and certifications are approved and accredited by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Student applications for the fall 2010 semester are now being accepted.
