ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI), a distance training institution dedicated exclusively to the child care industry, is proud to announce today an articulation agreement with Ashford University.
The articulation agreement allows CCEI students the opportunity to transfer credits earned to Ashford University. CCEI students graduating from the Child Development Associate (CDA) program and CDA-equivalent programs shall be permitted to transfer courses for eight (8) units of credit at Ashford University in the following: three (3) credits for ECE 101, three (3) credits for ECE 214, and two (2) elective credits. In addition, CCEI students completing professional development courses also have the opportunity to transfer credit to Ashford University. Under the terms of the Ashford University transfer credit policy, fifteen (15) clock hours of completed CCEI professional development coursework translates to one (1) unit of elective credit at Ashford University.
“Ashford University and ChildCare Education Institute enter into this articulation agreement in the spirit of cooperation and to mutually recognize each other as quality institutions of higher learning. Each institution is dedicated to serving students from diverse populations,” said David Vande Pol, Ashford University’s Senior Director of Academic Partnerships.
ChildCare Education Institute graduates who are interested in articulating credit into Ashford University’s Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood should contact the Ashford Admissions Department. Students interested in enrolling in ChildCare Education Institute CDA programs or professional development courses should contact the ChildCare Education Institute Admissions Department.
