About Bachelor of Science - Child Development and Services

Western Michigan University's child development and services major prepares individuals to work with children and their families in a range of care and service settings. The program includes selection of courses within one of two tracks: child programming and administration, which fulfills state of Michigan requirements for childcare center directors, or child life foundations, which provides fundamental knowledge for service as child life specialist.

As a child development and services student at WMU, students will complete a semester-long internship that is aligned with their area of study. Internships are designed to enhance your understanding of current issues and practices, help them gain valuable work experience and grow their professional network and resume.

Students can also gain valuable networking and professional development opportunities through student and community organizations, including the Child Life Student organization.
