Students who have completed Early Childhood Education at Washburn Institute of Technology may enter into an articulation agreement to earn their Associate of Arts in Family and Human Services at Washburn University. See Washburn Institute of Technology for additional information.
This AA degree does not prepare students for licensing as a preschool teacher in Kansas. For information on teacher licensing, which requires a Bachelor degree, please contact Washburn’s Education Department (https://www.washburn.edu/academics/college-schools/applied-studies/departments/education/index.html). However, students who go on to pursue a Bachelor degree in Family and Human Services in the Family Services track will meet the educational requirements to apply for national Certification in Family Life Education (CFLE) with the National Council on Family Relations. This certification prepares students to work as family life educators in a variety of human services settings (e.g., child welfare agencies, youth programs, parenting programs, county extension offices, hospital education departments, senior centers, prevention programs, etc.).
