What Early Childhood Education Student Say
“Achieving my dreams was only a step away after attending South Central College and transferring all of my credits toward a double major in teaching at Southwest Minnesota State University. Successfully, with the dedication and support of experienced professionals, I was able to develop an in-depth understanding of content and pedagogy in early childhood education and special education teaching...I would recommend to those seeking a career path in the field of education to look closely at the opportunities, choices and value one institution could provide to another to help you achieve your goals."
