Child and Youth Studies
Welcome to the Department of Child and Youth Studies
Child and Youth Studies
Our multidisciplinary department is committed to providing students with a rich educational experience that will prepare them for professional or academic careers in schools, hospitals, community agencies or universities. The department has been offering undergraduate degrees since 1993, and an MA since 2000.
Our faculty includes many nationally and internationally recognized scholars who work to high standards for teaching and research. Our staff work closely with them to guide out students through their programs. We are all approachable, and dedicated to maintaining the highest quality of education.
Brief Information about our Program
Child and Youth Studies (CHYS) is one of the most popular programs at Brock. You will learn from a broad-based approach that considers the individual child or youth within the context of the family, school, peer group and community. With interdisciplinary roots in psychology, education, sociology, cultural studies and criminology, our degree gives you the academic background to pursue a wide variety of careers or to pursue further studies in a Master's program. Field placements in schools and agencies will give you valuable experience for your résumé.
Students who are majoring in Child and Youth Studies now have the option of two new collaborative programs. In each program, students will complete the requirements of a 4-year BA Honours in Child and Youth Studies and a diploma from the appropriate College of Applied Arts and Technology. The first option is a diploma program in Montessori Teacher Education from Sheridan College, and the second option is the Child and Youth Worker diploma program at Durham College. Please contact Jo Stewart for more information on these collaborative programs.
The Concurrent Honours BA Child and Youth Studies/BEd is a limited enrolment program, offering a unique integration of academic and teacher-education courses throughout five years of study.
