Masters in Child Life and Family Centered Care

Child Life and Family Centered Care is a cohort-based program that prepares students to work as a part of interdisciplinary teams to support the psychosocial and developmental needs of children of different ages, cultures, and medical conditions, as well as the needs of their families in healthcare settings. The Child Life and Family Centered Care program is designed to educate students for entry level positions as child life specialists and prepare them to sit for the Association of Child Life Professionals certification examination. Graduates of the program can expect to find career opportunities across the United States and internationally. The program’s core coursework focuses on the psychosocial needs of children and families in health care settings and the implementation, documentation, and assessment of developmentally appropriate child life interventions. The program also includes an internship under the supervision of both a Child Life Specialist and program faculty.
