儿童福利

The University of Wisconsin-欧克莱尔's 12-credit child welfare certificate prepares you to become an effective advocate for children who are victims or survivors of child abuse. The child welfare certificate is especially beneficial for those who wish to work in areas such as child protective services, foster care or adoption.

Coursework throughout this program will increase your understanding of factors that lead to child maltreatment, as well as how to work effectively in various agencies and systems to respond to such incidents. You may explore the youth crime problem and the juvenile justice system; better understand communication disorders, intellectual disabilities, sensory and physical disabilities, specific learning disabilities and emotional behavior disabilities; or study the evolution of the American family from colonial times to the present.

You must already be a student within the College of Education and Human Sciences in order to be eligible for this certificate program. 

Courses from multiple disciplines — including social work, 社会学, 教育, criminal justice and psychology — will prepare you to advocate for, understand and respond to situations of child maltreatment and abuse. With the majority of the program being comprised of elective courses, you can tailor your classes to best fit the career you would like to pursue.
