Child Development Program

After An Associate Degree....

The goals of Jefferson State's Child Development Program are to provide quality education and professional development for our students; and to help each student attain his/her educational goals from CDA-to certificate-to Associate Degree - to Bachelor Degree-to Postgraduate Degree.

Students are encouraged at every educational milestone achieved to continue towards the next educational step. Upon successful completion of the Child Development Associate Degree, we encourage our students to continue their education towards a Bachelor Degree at a 4-year institution.

Currently, there are "In-Field" Bachelor Degree programs in Alabama that offer Child Development graduates, an opportunity to continue their educational journey and to maximize transfer of their course credits. These Bachelor degree programs have an understanding of our graduates and have developed distance education opportunities to enable students to continue their educational goals.

The number of bachelor degree programs articulating the Child Development Associate degree continues to grow. Students are also encouraged to visit other 4-year colleges of their choice and seek to maximize their college course transfer.
