Bachelor of Arts in Child Development

Program Overview

Building healthy adults starts with building healthy children. As a child development major at CMU, you'll help youth create a foundation for lifelong success. Whether you want to work with people from infancy through early adulthood, advocate for the rights of children, become a social worker or counselor, or work with youth in various family and community settings, this program is your foundation for a career lifting others toward successful futures.

Why This Program & What You'll Learn
When you were growing up, do you remember an adult who showed you how to be resilient? Who gave you the confidence to be your best — and, most of all, be yourself?

With our child development major, you'll learn to be that person.

You'll examine the long-range effects of growth and development from birth through early adulthood. By the time you graduate, you'll get hands-on experiences that will prepare you for a fulfilling career. In the past, our students have completed internships at government agencies, safe houses, youth centers, and more.

Classes cover such interdisciplinary topics such as:

  • Family and parent-child relationships.
  • Infant, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescent/early adulthood development.
  • Culture and the impact of oppression.
  • Mental health.
  • Risk and resilience.
