Children’s Literature and Childhood Studies, Minor

The Minor in Children’s Literature and Childhood Studies (CLCS) provides students with an opportunity to study children’s literature within the context of the interdisciplinary field of childhood studies. The minor recognizes that the academic study of children’s literature is intrinsically linked to other disciplines that focus on particular aspects of childhood. In addition to taking courses in children’s literature, students participating in this minor select courses pertaining to such child related topics as language acquisition, child psychology, education, juvenile law, pediatric nursing, and the history and culture of childhood.
