The MA in Child Study and Education: Course Program

At the time of printing, the courses described in this calendar are those intended to be offered in the academic year 2000-2001. It may happen, however, that some courses will have to be changed in content or withdrawn. In such cases, the University and the Institute of Child Study will make every effort to provide equivalent alternative instruction, but this cannot be guaranteed.
