Program Overview

The School of Education offers a major and a minor in child development that encourages students to take courses in other departments. The study of children has special significance at Mills, which in 1926 opened the first campus nursery school on the West Coast as a laboratory for child study and professional training of teachers. Child development is an interdisciplinary major grounded in the study of human growth and development. Students observe and participate in the Children's School during their studies, gaining hands-on, mentored experience developing, using, and evaluating early childhood curricula with children from infancy through preschool.
