This Master of Arts will offer students an applied course of study in child advocacy. As an emerging field, child advocacy includes an understanding of parts of several disciplines: psychology, sociology, law. However, it is a field where the whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts. Briefly stated, this program aims to provide a comprehensive view of the field of child advocacy that includes both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary components. Along with the Child Advocacy and Policy (MA) Online degree, the Child Advocacy Certificate ONLINE is available for graduate study. This 11 course, 33 credit hour master’s program provides a comprehensive view of the interdisciplinary field of child advocacy and the skills and knowledge needed to succeed as a child advocacy professional. Those students enrolled full time will take three courses per semester (fall and spring) and must complete a field placement (Practicum in Public Child Welfare) and culminating program experience (Seminar in Child Advocacy).
