The EP Department of Child Study and Human Development is the country's oldest institution dedicated to serving the needs of children and families.
Children and adolescents growing up today need professionals who understand child and adolescent development at a deep level, who know how to conduct rigorous theoretically-grounded research, and who can link theory and research to practice and policy. The Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development trains master’s and doctoral-level practitioners and researchers to work in high- level public, advocacy, government, and university settings.
The Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development is committed to making an impact on the lives of children, youth, and families. The department provides a vibrant, interdisciplinary community dedicated to applied research and preparing students for a variety of careers.
