SEHS - Human Development and Child Studies
The Department of Human Development and Child Studies (HDCS) consists of three areas:
  • Early Childhood Education
  • Early Education and Intervention
  • Special Education

The mission is to provide an exceptional educational experience that promotes and celebrates educational excellence. Dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing a supportive environment that facilitates learning and the development of students as they pursue their studies in education.

New Program Announcement:

Beginning in fall 2012, we will offer a post-master's program in Early Education and Intervention. This comprehensive, interdisciplinary program was developed by teams of faculty to include content on theory, child development, curriculum, assessment, educational practices, collaboration, leadership and policy. This program consists of 36 credits with some online coursework. For more details, please download the EEI program flyer.


Teaching Opportunities

Occasionally, our department has opportunities for individuals with advanced degrees in education to teach undergraduate or graduate level courses. Persons interested in such opportunities are encouraged to submit their vita directly to us at swift@oakland.edu . Do not expect to be interviewed until a specific need exists. We thank you for your interest in advance.
