MA Child Development Programm

In the Master of Arts in Child Development program, students explore the lives of children as the interaction of intellectual, emotional, social, and imaginative streams. The program combines an in-depth study of primary theoretical perspectives with practical fieldwork and encourages students to study children in a wide range of social contexts and environments.
