Overview

Key Features

The field of child and adolescent development is incredibly diverse and can offer many career directions — whether it’s working with the helping professions, industry, government, and for-profit or nonprofit organizations.

Throughout your studies, you’ll have an opportunity to take an in-depth look at developmental stages and explore how the impacts of family, school, peers, society, and culture intertwine and affect the development of children and adolescents.

The Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology program at National University seeks to expose students to a deep understanding of physical, cognitive, gender, and socioemotional development that is acquired through critical analysis of research, as well as the theories of development that have arisen from this research. Students will also learn about child and adolescent psychopathology and get an in-depth understanding of ADHD, as well as autism spectrum disorders.

At the culmination of this master’s in child development program, you have the option of completing a 100-hour internship working in the field. This gives you the opportunity to demonstrate a wide range of professional competencies, and apply what you have learned in your studies to develop real-world applicable skills.
