The Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) designation is the sole certification granted by the Child Life Council. To qualify, candidates must meet educational and practical training standards, then pass the Child Life Professional Certification Exam. At the University of Utah, the FCS department offers prerequisite coursework for Child Life Internships (clinical training). Their Human Development and Social Policy Master's program, administered by the Family and Consumer Studies Department, focuses on investigating key policies and challenges affecting families, communities, and societal structures. Throughout this two-year graduate program, students explore ecological frameworks (examining how individuals and systems interact) through both theoretical study and research applications.
