The objective of the Graduate Program in Education and Child Development is to train individuals to respond to increasingly complex contemporary issues including the rising incidence of bullying and refusal to attend school, the increase in children who need special support, child poverty and abuse, learning difficulties, and the declining desire to learn. Specifically, the program focuses on developing the following four competencies: first, the ability to understand and analyze contemporary issues faced by children from multiple perspectives; second, the ability to conduct assessments and consultations aimed at resolving children’s developmental issues; third, the ability to provide individual children with developmentally appropriate guidance and support for learning difficulties and other issues; and fourth, the ability to design and create a human and physical environment for children. In order to cultivate these competencies, our curriculum focuses on comprehensive theoretical and practical study of children’s psychological development and education, as well as the development of advanced supportive skills based in a comprehensive knowledge of psychology, education, and disabilities that enables engagement with children, parents and guardians, educators, and the educational environment. Although the Graduate Program in Education and Child Development is exclusively a master’s program, it is linked to the university’s Doctoral Program in Psychology (Education and Child Development concentration). Admission Policy TOPICS Available licenses and certifications Graduates of the program are eligible to take the examination for licensure as a clinical developmental psychologist, as well as to receive special teaching certificates for kindergarten, elementary school, or special needs education. About clinical developmental psychologists A clinical developmental psychologist is a professional who views every person as needing support needs at certain points during their life development and has development-focused assessment and support skills from an inclusive perspective.
