What classes are required?

Question

I was wondering what classes I needed to take in college for Child Psychology..If ya'll know any sites or even the courses...please hook me up !!! Thank you...

Answer 1

I have a Psychology degree (B.S.) so I looked at a reputable college (University of Minnesota) to see the core courses they require for their degrees in Child Psychology:
1) General Psychology plus Introductory Child Psychology
2) Research Methods, Statistics, and Evaluation
3) Social Development and Personality, Cognitive Development
4) Research in Child Psychology and Child Development
5) Children, Youth and Society
6) Behavioral and Emotional Problems of Children
Here's the U of M web site for a BA or BS in Child Psych: http://education.umn.edu/icd/undergrad/earndegree.html

I know I took Intro to Psych, Abnormal Psych, 2 Research courses, Statistics, Women & Psych, & Sociology course.
Good luck!

Answer 2

Child Psychology is not a major, although most schools that offer psychology as a major have a Child or Human Develpoment course to take.

Undergraduate Major in Psychology
Master's Degree in Psychology with Specialization in Child Psychology
Ph.D in Psychology with specialization in Child Psychology

Answer 3

Whatever college you choose should have a list of the classes you will need. My son is a freshman in college majoring in Engineering. The college he is attending helped him with the classes he would need since he wasn't sure. Good luck and good job for deciding to go to college.

Answer 4

Usually the class is called "Child Psychology" and/or "Developmental Psychology". I'm a psych minor and thats what mine are.
