The study of child development encompasses the human life span from conception through adolescence and provides a foundation for students' professional role in human service and education.
What Students Will Do :
- Interact one-on-one with qualified faculty in face-to-face and online classes.
- Acquire first-hand knowledge of child development in action through experiential learning with children and families in a variety of university and community settings.
- Apply child development knowledge to create healthy, supportive learning and care environments.
- Complete a Child Development Career Internship, the capstone of integrated study.
- Be prepared to collaborate with allied professionals in government, corporate, education, and social service settings.
- Gain real-world experience. 100% of Southeast programs offer real-world experience. During the final year, majors complete a Child Development Career Internship, which is the capstone of integrated study.
Students' education is just one piece to launching an extraordinary career. Once they've mastered the material, they still have to find the job they want, make the right connections, sell their knowledge and experience—and even if all this is giving them anxiety, they shouldn't panic.
