Childhood Studies Minor


Banner Code:  CHDS

Web: ncc.gmu.edu

The minor in childhood studies is designed for students who have a child-related focus in their major and for those who want to explore the topic of childhood. This minor focuses on the study of issues concerning children and their representations, including their experiences in society within historical and contemporary cultures and global contexts. The curriculum fosters thinking about childhood theory, research, policy – and the practical applications of this knowledge to decisions regarding children and youth. The minor provides enough flexibility for students to choose relevant courses in keeping with their primary interests.

This program of study is offered by New Century College.

For policies governing all minors, see the Academic Policies chapter of this catalog.
