Those working in child and youth services encounter numerous challenges while navigating intricate relationships with families, communities, and governing bodies. Carleton's Childhood and Youth Studies program equips students for careers in this challenging field. Initially designed for Early Childhood Education (ECE) graduates, the updated curriculum now welcomes students without an ECE diploma. The program covers diverse subjects concerning children and youth globally and domestically, featuring core courses in Childhood and Youth Studies (including children's rights, policies, and practices) along with other pertinent disciplines.
Secondary school (high school) graduation is the typical level required for admission to the first year of an undergraduate program. Academic performance in previous studies is the main determining factor for admission to undergraduate degree program.
