BS IN BIRTH-KINDERGARTEN (BK) TEACHER
EDUCATION
Freshmen may declare birth through kindergarten teacher education as
a major. Prior to enrolling in selected courses, all students must be admitted
to the upper division of teacher education. To be admitted to upper division,
students must post satisfactory scores on PRAXIS I examinations, have a
minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA, and meet technology competency requirements.
Transfer students must have completed at least 12 s.h. at East Carolina
University. In addition, BK majors must achieve a minimum grade of C in
all CDFR and HESC courses required for the major. Applications for admission
to internship must be submitted to the internship coordinator one year
prior to the semester in which the student will complete internship requirements.
For admission to internship, BK majors must have a minimum grade of C in
both the early experience (CDFR 2123) and methods courses (CDFR 4322, 4323),
and a passing grade in EDUC 3200. They must also be certified in Community
First Aid and Safety and Community CPR by the American Red Cross. A minimum
grade of C in internship (CDFR 4324, 4325) is required for licensure.
Additional information about upper division, internship, and licensure

BS IN CHILD LIFE
Child Life Admission and Progression
Standards
Admission to the child life major requires a minimum 2.5 GPA. Admission
is competitive and limited. Freshmen and other students may declare their
intent to enroll in child life but are assigned to General College until
they are officially admitted to the major. Students may apply for admission
when they have completed at least 45 s.h. (including transfer courses)
with a minimum 2.5 GPA. The application process includes an interview.
Students must earn a minimum grade of C in all CDFR, cognate, and restricted
elective courses required for the major. If a child life major’s cumulative
GPA falls below 2.5, the student will be given one semester to correct
the deficiency. A child life major who has a GPA of less than 2.5 for two
consecutive semesters will not be allowed to continue in the program. Students
must have a 2.5 GPA to enroll in the child life internship and to graduate
as a child life major. (Note: Completion of a BS degree with a major in
child life does not include certification as a child life specialist. The
Child Life Certifying Commission of the Child Development Council administers
the certification examination. The Department of Child Development and
Family Relations will verify completion of degree requirements, but meeting
other requirements for certification is the responsibility of each candidate.)
