We compare the rest-frame ultraviolet and rest-frame optical morphologies of
2 < z < 3 star-forming galaxies in the GOODS-S field using Hubble Space
Telescope WFC3 and ACS images from the CANDELS, GOODS, and ERS programs. We
show that the distribution of sizes and concentrations for 1.90 < z < 2.35
galaxies selected via their rest-frame optical emission-lines are statistically
indistinguishable from those of Lyman-alpha emitting systems found at z ~ 2.1
and z ~ 3.1. We also show that the z > 2 star-forming systems of all sizes and
masses become smaller and more compact as one shifts the observing window from
the UV to the optical. We argue that this offset is due to inside-out galaxy
formation over the first ~ 2 Gyr of cosmic time.
