Devoted to the empirical study of spiritual vitality and moral development of children, CenSCED will conduct pioneering research in areas related to children's ethics.
Most research begins with the teen years.
We're doing tough stuff by starting with prenatal, infant and childhood development. CenSCED will provide opportunities for graduate faculty to engage in original research with direct applications to their classroom teaching. Early research will be conducted at the university's Early Childhood Center, satellite student teaching centers and selected parishes in the United States and abroad.
