Southern New Hampshire University's child development program prepares students for a variety of careers working with children and for graduate study.
The leadership concentration prepares students to run their own early childhood businesses or become licensed directors for existing programs. Graduates of the family studies concentration are prepared to enter the diverse field of family services as child and family caseworkers or work in the area of child and family intervention. A concentration in child development provides students with in-depth knowledge of the dynamic transformations children experience and is excellent preparation for graduate study.
