Students must demonstrate college-level composition and reading for all ECE courses. Students must also demonstrate college-level proficiency in composition, reading, and mathematics as prerequisites for general education courses within this degree. Skills in these areas may affect the sequence of courses in which students can enroll and may extend the time required to complete this program. Please see your advisor for testing requirements.
All students are encouraged to work with Barbara Jackman (970-968-5820), regarding recommended course sequencing and course prerequisite requirements; 1000-level courses should be completed prior to taking 2000-level courses, as they build upon one another. It is strongly recommended students work with a college counselor or advisor for course sequence planning.
