Dual Concentration in Early Intervention and Early Biliteracy Development

Children from birth to age 5 can face a number of challenges when preparing to succeed in school. By choosing this dual concentration, you can gain the knowledge and skills to address the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse children and their families—in the same amount of time it would take to complete one concentration. Our supportive faculty members bring their real-world experience to the program so that you learn evidence-based strategies that help you become a culturally responsive professional.
