“There is a real need for professionals with
special knowledge in child and adolescent development,”

to health care, government, and education programs focused on the needs
of children and families. Our curriculum is designed to provide the
knowledge, theory, and best practices necessary to support the
development of children and adolescents, as well as advance our students’
potential to become leaders in this important field of study.”
