Child Life Specialist

Child life specialists are trained healthcare professionals who support children and families in coping with the stress and anxiety that often accompanies a visit to a hospital or clinic. MSU Students who are Human Development and Family Studies (HDSF) majors can complete all the necessary coursework for this career through the major if the correct courses are taken. This is a VERY competitive career. Please read the Child Life Advising Sheet carefully and contact Dr. Lisa Hagan ([email protected]) with any questions on becoming a child life specialist.
