In the Children's Studies minor, you will learn about children and childhood while drawing on the expertise of the departments of Education, Psychology, English, History, and the programs in African and African American Studies and American Culture Studies. You will develop a sophisticated interdisciplinary understanding of childhood and the issues surrounding the treatment and status of children throughout history.

A minor in Children's Studies will expose students to an interconnected set of ideas about children as objects and subjects in a variety of essential disciplines. This minor would be especially attractive to students in Education, Psychology, English, History, American Culture Studies, and Social Thought and Analysis.

Students who minor in Children's Studies will receive special invitations to symposia, lectures, and other events related to the minor sponsored by the Center for the Humanities.
