The nation’s first doctoral degree-granting
program in Childhood Studies welcomed the first cohort in 2007. In
addition to the PhD program, Rutgers-Camden also offers an undergraduate
minor, and awards bachelor’s and master's degrees in Childhood
Studies.
Childhood studies is acknowledged widely as a prominent emerging academic
discipline that is transforming research and scholarship on children
in the same way that women’s studies and African-American studies
transformed the study of race and gender during the late 20th century.
"Research on every Rutgers campus seeks to provide new insight into the challenges
facing the citizens of New Jersey and, indeed, the world," said Rutgers President
Richard L. McCormick. "At Rutgers-Camden, we have a strong and growing core
of faculty who are established leaders in childhood studies across a comprehensive
spectrum of scholarly disciplines. Their excellence in research regularly earns
national and international attention, and their work is instrumental in deepening
our knowledge of childhood matters. As a result, Rutgers-Camden is the ideal
location for the nation's first doctoral program in this important field."
