CHILD ADVOCACY
The child advocacy program engages students in the study of issues important to children, especially the problems children face regarding physical and emotional health, material support, social relationships, and educational needs. It explores three components of child advocacy: 1) child development, 2) the family and other social contexts affecting children, and 3) social, educational, and legal strategies for advocacy on children's behalf.
The child advocacy program meets the interdisciplinary minor requirement.
