Child Advocacy and Policy (MA) and Child Advocacy (Certificate) Virtual Information Session

Advocate for children and families through policy, practice, and systems change.

Join us to learn more about Montclair’s fully online Child Advocacy and Policy programs and how they prepare students to understand child advocacy through the lenses of law, social work, and psychology. The MA program includes applied coursework in areas such as family empowerment, child welfare policy, child abuse and neglect, forensic interviewing, and advocacy practice. The 15-credit certificate can also serve as a starting point and may be applied toward the master’s degree.

This session will cover program structure, what online study looks like, and how these programs can support careers in child welfare agencies, juvenile justice settings, nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and related fields.
