Master of Education in Child Studies

As a master of education (M.Ed.) student in Child Studies, you'll apply what you learn in the classroom as a member of a clinical or developmental research team. Uniquely suited for specific career paths and interests, both of Child Studies' two educational tracks prepare students to work as practitioners, researchers or interventionists with expertise in skillfully applying child developmental research to real-world problems.

The Child Studies master's program offers two track options: the Clinical and Developmental Research Track and the Applied Professional Track. The program has been highly successful in placing students from the Research Track into competitive doctoral programs and research positions in areas of child psychology and clinical science. Additionally, the Applied Track has a more-than twenty-year history of placing graduates as teachers and school support staff, child life specialists, behavior specialists, healthcare workers and non-profit professionals across varied work settings.
