The Child Development minor is recommended for students who wish to work with children or adolescents. This minor will provide an in-depth understanding of normal development from conception through the end of adolescence and will also focus heavily on problems that might impact on the developmental process. Attention will also be given to the educational system and the family, two contexts that have a significant impact on a child’s and an adolescent’s development.
If the student is a psychology major, the internship for the major (i.e., PSY 466) should be a Child Development site. A Child Development Internship is not required of non-Psychology majors with the Child Development minor.
