An opportunity to gain an associate degree from Delaware Tech and a bachelor's degree from Wilmington University.

YOUR PATH TO A BACHELOR'S DEGREE

Delaware Tech has established agreements with four-year colleges and universities that connect Delaware Tech associate degree programs with bachelor's degree programs to create smooth transfer opportunities for you. These Connected Degree programs enable you to complete your associate degree and then transfer to a four-year degree program as a junior.

THE CONNECTED DEGREE 2 + 2 CURRICULUM

Delaware Tech's associate degree program in Early Childhood Education Birth to Second Grade offers students the opportunity to work toward a four-year degree while preparing for the various positions in the field of early childhood education. Wilmington University's Bachelor of Science degree program in Education Studies is the entry-level major for all students who have not passed ETS Praxis Series Core Academic Skills for Educators. The Education Studies degree is designed for those who want to work with children and youth in positions that do not require state licensure/certification, or who may want to enter a teacher licensure/certification program at a later date (after passing PRAXIS II), or who may want to gain a strong general foundation in areas such as learning theory, educational psychology, child development, and education best practices in preparation for a variety of other occupations and career paths. The Education Studies degree will not lead to licensure/certification as a classroom teacher.

VALUE FOR YOU

By completing your associate degree at Delaware Tech, you'll receive excellent instruction in small classes at a campus close to home. Delaware Tech's affordable tuition can reduce the overall cost of your college education, making the completion of your bachelor's degree more manageable.
