Program Description Early Childhood Education (Consecutive Diploma/Degree) is a four-year program that leads to both an Early Childhood Education (ECE) diploma from George Brown College and a Bachelor of Applied Arts degree from Ryerson University.
As a student in this program, you will spend the first two years earning your ECE diploma at the Sally Horsfall Eaton Centre for Studies in Community Health, located at George Brown's Ryerson Campus (co-operatively managed with George Brown), and the latter two years completing your ECE degree at Ryerson University.
This program offers some distinct advantages: College-level tuition fees for the first two years, rather than higher university fees. Classes with George Brown College faculty who are national leaders in applied ECE. Practical training at one of George Brown’s 12 child care lab schools located across the Greater Toronto Area. Direct entry into the third year of the Ryerson degree program. Expand career scope and direction by earning both an ECE diploma and degree. George Brown's system of alternating blocks of classroom theory and field practice will give you the knowledge and skills you need to work with with infants, toddlers, preschool and school-aged children in a variety of early childhood education settings.
