NOTE: If student has an Elementary Education degree from Newman University: Student would need to complete the 16 hours to qualify for the Early Childhood Unified licensure, which includes two field experiences and 4 courses plus an 8 week teaching internship if your Elementary internship was NOT done in a K-­3rd grade classroom. If student has an Education degree from another university: Transcripts would need to be analyzed to meet all the requirements of the Newman ECU Program
