Child & Youth Development
Area of Education
Milligan College offers a child and youth development major for persons
who wish to prepare for careers in working with children from birth
through seventeen years of age. The mission of the program is to prepare
caring and reflecting professionals who integrate their Christian faith,
social responsibility, and sound scholarship in order to contribute to a
responsible and caring community.
Completion of the program prepares an individual for
employment in a variety of settings including youth-serving organizations
such as Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs, and military youth programs and
private, governmental, and nonprofit early childhood programs such as Head
Start, church preschools, military child development centers, and other
settings that do not require public school licensure With the successful
completion of the early childhood emphasis and additional courses the
program can lead to licensure for persons who wish to teach in PreK-3 or
K-6. The child and youth development program includes general education
courses, core courses for the major, and an emphasis in either early
childhood administration, early childhood education, or youth program
administration, and elective courses.
