The early childhood policy post-baccalaureate certificate gives students expertise in applying research-based knowledge to public policies affecting young children and the adults who care for them. In addition to completing coursework, students in the certificate program complete a capstone workshop or independent study focused on early childhood policy. These certificate components provide a vehicle for students to gain fundamental early childhood policy skills and knowledge and to foster connection between the University of Minnesota and the early childhood policy community. Students will have opportunities to participate in the work of the University of Minnesota's renowned Human Capital Research Collaborative.
