Highlights:
Masters
in Human Development: Throughout our lives, we go through many changes
from birth to death. These changes can be physical, socio-emotional,
cognitive/intellectual, environmental etc. Transformation happens at every stage
of life and through all this; we are shaped by our families, community and our
society. Students belonging to the field of Human Development look at how people
grow and how they form relationships throughout their lives. The field prepares
professionals to meet the society- relevant challenges. They explore the
dynamics between people within their families as well as those between families
and the greater world.
A masters degree program in Human Development can be completed in two years and
the program immerses students in the study of lifespan development, family
systems, social policy, and the research process. On completion of this course;
students often pursue careers in research, policy analysis, education and
community outreach.
Masters in Early Childhood Education: There has been increasing
attention and focus towards the care and education of young children in the past
decade. Importance has been given to the quality and variety of services for
children due to various reasons - economic, social and progressive.
In sync with the increasing demand for qualified professionals and thinkers in
ECE, the Dept. of Human Development at SNDT Women's University, Juhu introduced
a 2 year full time Masters in ECE. The only institute offering a Masters course
in ECE, has not only put together a unique combination of theory, research and
practice but also added fresh blood in the pool of experts and educators in the
field.
The course offers opportunities and pathways to develop professionals, thinkers,
educators, entrepreneurs, planners and implementers motivated and qualified to
deliver high quality early childhood education programs. |
