IDSM 432 - Child Studies Capstone

After completing at least nine (9) credits, but preferably twelve (12) credits, in the minor, students will write and revise an 8-12 page reflective paper in consultation with a faculty member from the Child Studies Minor Committee or another faculty member approved by the Committee. The paper will examine how coursework, research, service learning, and/or internship experience in the minor have contributed to the student’s interdisciplinary understanding of the physical, psychological, cognitive, and social development of children; the creation and critique of art and media focused on and directed towards children; and the political debates and social policies that influence children. It will also explore how completing the Child Studies minor will contribute to the student’s future academic and personal endeavors.

Prerequisite: Students should have completed 9 credits in the minor before enrolling in the capstone. It should be completed with a grade of “C” or higher.
