A program may (but is not required to) provide a short narrative description (150 words) of the data reflected above to provide context.  Over 88% of the Child Care and Development declared majors are part-time students with the majority working in the child care field. Although we offer evening classes and online courses, students often only take one course per semester because of the demands of their work and family life. We have many students who persist and graduate over a seven to ten year span.  Students who take courses full-time (FT) (12 hrs. +) for much of their program may not complete their award under the FT status because of the required fieldwork hours dedicated to the capstone Practicum course (128 hrs.).
