B.A. in Psychology:
Child Psychology

Child Psychology majors study all aspects of child development — physical, intellectual, emotional, social and moral — as well as other areas that play a key role in development, including parenting, family dynamics and the education system.

• Study the fundamentals of early intervention programs
