Program Overview

Professionals working with children and youth face many challenges involving complex relationships with families, communities and governments. Child Studies at Carleton prepares you for careers in this demanding area.

Through core courses in child studies and other relevant disciplines you will learn about a wide range of topics (e.g., children s rights, policy and practice) pertaining to children and youth in Canada and around the world.
