Child and Adolescent Development Department

At the SJSU Lurie College of Education Department of Child and Adolescent Development (ChAD), our programs and faculty provide students with a well-rounded curriculum that incorporates theory, research, policy, and practice. As a result, our students develop an extensive understanding of the major milestones of human development, an awareness of effects of different child-rearing practices or conditions on the fulfillment of development promise, and much more. Our students become strong advocates for their communities and transition into several career pathways such as early childhood education, K-12 education, non-profit advocacy, research and policy.
