You’ll learn how environmental and social factors affect physical, cognitive, and emotional development in children ages 0-8 years old (infants-3rd grade). You’ll start with advising and classes in the Department of Human Development and coursework in teacher licensure. The first two years of your program can be completed on-campus or online.

Job Opportunity Potential
CSU’s Career Center is excited to partner with Parker Dewey to offer micro-internships to RAMS!
A micro-internship is a short-term project that can be completed within 5-40 hours, typically due within a week to a month. These projects require no on-boarding and can be completed by a college student with minimal instruction. These are important but low-risk tasks that can be completed either on-site or remotely.
Micro-internships are available year-round. It’s up to you to take advantage.
CREATE A PROFILE – Signing up takes less than 10 minutes – name, school, hobbies, and a few other things and you’re good to go.
SEE MICRO-INTERNSHIPS – Check out details on available assignments, including when they’re due and how much you’ll be paid.
APPLY – You decide which opportunities seem the most interesting – it’s a great way to explore different roles and industries.
COMPLETE ASSIGNMENT – Once you’re selected, work directly with the company. Do your best to exceed their expectations as it could lead to a full-time role.
