Courses

The CDPP course of study consists of 16 courses and a sequence of clinical practicums. Coursework is typically completed by the end of the fourth year of the program. Students are required to pass Ph.D. field examinations (three exams and a major area paper), complete masters and dissertation projects, and complete a predoctoral internship.

 

 

"The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live — all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives."

Robert H. Wozniak (1991) from Worlds of Childhood. See The Columbia World of Quotations.
