Early Childhood Education
Our schools play a vital role in educating our children and transmitting Torah values. At Maalot we believe that children deserve professionally-trained teachers. If you aspire to inspire, this is the career choice for you.
Maalot’s AA and BA in Early Childhood Education program equip students with skills to successfully teach so children will learn, to help children develop self-discipline, and to motivate children intrinsically. Topics include: classroom management, curriculum planning, teaching methodology, childhood development, classroom safety, and parental and community involvement. Students can combine credits in education and psychology to meet the common prerequisites for post-graduate study.
What is the nature of human personality? What is normal behavior? What is abnormal behavior? How do we help people facilitate normal development and overcome maladaptive patterns of functioning? There is an increasing need for skilled psychologists in our communities. The Maalot Yerushalayim psychology degree program is unique in that courses are fully professional and uncompromising on Torah and hashkafa.
Maalot’s Psychology’s BA program gives students a strong theoretical and applied understanding of human functioning based on the biopsychosocial model. Students are introduced to the various influences on attitudes, behavior and emotion, and explore how these influences affect assessment and treatment of psychopathology. The program provides a foundation for fields such as social work, school psychology, special education and counseling, all in a Bais Yaakov environment. This BA program can also combine elective courses to pursue various MA degrees.
Science
Science is the study of the order of the world – the macrocosm of the earth and the microcosm of our own bodies. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn from highly qualified PhD instructors who live by their belief in a Borei Olam and have incorporated this into their teaching.
Maalot college does not offer a degree in science. Maalot courses in science combine lectures with on line lab work, and may furnish the prerequisites for health fields such as nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nutrition, and physician’s assistant.
