Undergraduate Program

The four-year bachelor’s degree requires 128 credits; the two-year Bachelor’s degree requires 73 credits. The curriculum emphasizes both theory and practice and is divided into three sections. The first section consists of introductory courses and liberal arts (general education) courses.

Our internship courses include Child Care Practicum, Overseas Child Care Internship, and Interest-based Practicum in Child Care, carried out at children’s learning centers, art classrooms, infant care centers, early intervention institutes, and postnatal care centers. During their internship, students become familiar with a variety of childcare-related professions, such as preschool education, infant care, early intervention, and after school programs.
