The undergraduate major in Childhood Studies is designed for students who want to develop knowledge and skills necessary for careers working with children and families in a wide variety of settings.
It is unique in its focus on understanding children and childhood from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Childhood Studies brings together knowledge about children and youth from infancy through the age of legal majority as seen from the perspectives of the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences, medicine, education and the law.
As a Childhood Studies major, students develop valuable skills in preparation for work with children in settings such as private and state-funded programs, Department of Children and Families, family resource centers, children’s museums or recreation centers.
