Midwestern State University's (MSU Texas) West College of Education believes that learning changes both individuals and society. Developing resiliency and tolerance enhances an individual's potential. Through education, the individual becomes a critical thinker and an effective problem solver. Individuals with a cause beyond self contribute to an informed, democratic, and synergistic society. MSU Texas faculty continually strives to establish a reflective and collaborative community to enhance the potential of both the learner and society. MSU Texas offers a Bachelor of Science in Education - Early Childhood Studies and Early Care. The Early Childhood Studies and Early Care program prepares individuals for careers in the field of early childhood and early care including teaching, youth related social service, early care and youth programs, health care, child development, and other community settings. This program does not lead to Texas teacher certification.
