Master of Arts (MA) in Child and Youth Care

The Master of Arts program is designed for those interested in child and youth studies and practice. This academic program draws from a variety of disciplines and approaches including but not limited to the child and youth care, social pedagogy, education, psychology, health, criminology, Indigenous studies, anthropology, women’s studies, political theory, and sociology.

Working within both quantitative and qualitative research paradigms, faculty members draw from a range of conceptual perspectives including but not limited to developmental, humanist, pragmatist, feminist, poststructural, and postcolonial theories.

Students in the MA program develop theoretically informed, practice-based understandings of issues related to children and youth in relation to their social, cultural, and political contexts.
