The Bachelor of Arts (Child and Youth Study) in association With Bermuda College prepares students for careers in a wide variety of programmes and services for children, youth and families. Students normally focus on early childhood/childcare administration, disability/special needs or youth care, but many take courses related to more than one area. The programme provides all the necessary background in the Arts and Sciences as well as professional perspectives on children and youth within the context of contemporary society. In addition to the academic preparation, students will also have the opportunity to work directly with children, youth or families in practicum courses.
If you are interested in a career in community services, youth care, child care, preschool education, child care administration, hospital-based child life specialisation or education, then this programme is for you.
Graduates of the Associate in Arts (Human Services) degree can move directly into the BA (Child & Youth Study) and benefit from Bermuda College courses, MSVU distance education courses, and courses offered jointly by Bermuda College and MSVU. Graduates with Associate Degrees from other accredited institutions may also be eligible to enroll in the BAA program.
