Roadmap: B.A. in Child Development, Middle Childhood Track for Transfers


The undergraduate program is organized around six broad competencies-child development knowledge/foundations; the research process; legal, ethical and pragmatic issues; professionalism and leadership; child guidance, and integration of a personal/professional world view. Students are introduced to these competencies in CDEV 3000 Professional Issues in Child Development, at the beginning of their program, and compile a professional portfolio to document their progress throughout their academic program. These portfolios are presented at the end of the program in CDEV 4965, Senior Seminar.

This Roadmap is a recommended advising map to complete the degree program in four years. Please consult your academic advisor as you develop your academic plan.
