How Do I Start
Early Childhood Education
Please view the Prerequisites on the Admissions (link to Admissions page) page to make sure you meet all the prerequisites before applying to the program.
Application Process for Students who Meet the Prerequisites
Students wishing to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education:
- Apply online at https://www.k-state.edu/admit/apply/ or print out an application there. You'll apply as a transfer student.
- If you have received credit from other institutions, send the transcripts to the K-State Admissions office, and follow up with that office to make sure that they have received your transcripts. Your application will not be processed until all transcripts from the institutions you've identified have been received.
- K-State Admissions, Phone: 800-432-8270 / 785-532-6250
- E-mail: k-state@k-state.edu
- Once you've submitted your application, send an e-mail to Janice Nikkel at jnikkel@k-state.edu indicating that you have applied to the program.
Please note: It takes at least 4-6 weeks for an application to be processed once all materials have been received.
In order to allow time for the evaluation process, you should apply no later than June 1 for fall semesters, November 1 for spring semesters, and April 1 for summer sessions.
If you do not meet the prerequisites, the Admissions Office will notify you and then you should check with Mary DeLuccie to help figure out where you can take the courses you are lacking.
