Childhood Studies

The Childhood Studies degree program prepares graduates for fulfilling careers working with children and families in a diverse array of fields, including teaching, educational outreach, special education, child development and arts education. Our courses combine development and educational theory with practical skills and experiences at local schools.

Field experiences are an integral part of the Childhood Studies Program. Degree candidates have opportunities to work with school-age children in local elementary schools, after-school programs, and other community organizations and programs.

Degree candidates who wish to pursue a career in public school teaching can choose options in K-8 Teacher Certification and K-12 General Special Education Certification, earning teacher certification through the State of New Hampshire. If you prefer to teach outside New Hampshire, your certification is easily transferable to other states. All of our teacher certification programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
