Child Studies
HomepageIntroduction
The Department of Child Studies was divided from the Division of Consumer & Child Studies in 2014, since Korean society had expected more experts in child rearing support, early childhood education, and child counseling areas according to rapid changes in family lives. The department is committed to excellence in research, teaching, and service regarding children's development in the context of the family, community, and society. The goal of the department is to produce experts who study and practice ways of improving the quality of children's lives. The program prepares students for careers in child care & education, child counseling, or family service, etc.
