The child life option is designed to provide both academic course work and clinical experiences in the hospital setting.
Students learn the unique problems associated with illness and hospitalization.
They are trained to prepare and educate children of all ages and their families to understand, manage, and adjust to stress and illness. The curriculum is comprehensive, sequential, multidisciplinary, family oriented, developmental, and relevant to the lives of children in the hospital and their families. Select 6 credits with approval of advisor from within the School of Family and Consumer Sciences OR from a cognate area outside the School, OR from a combination of the two.
