Knowing you play a role in shaping a child’s imagination and education is priceless. That’s why Oklahoma City Community College offers four programs for students who are interested in pursuing careers in child development. You can earn an associate degree in arts in child development, an associate degree in applied science in child development, a certificate of mastery in child development, or a child development associate (CDA). Consult a faculty advisor to find out which program is best for you. The certificate program allows you to study courses in the field of child development without taking the general education classes that are required for an associate degree. In this program, you can learn the skills you need quickly so you can enter the job market. Another good thing about this option is that the college credits you earn will apply toward the associate in applied science or associate in arts degrees, so you can always come back to OCCC and further your education.
