| | Graduate study in Children's Literature | |
You know after realizing just how much I love to write reviews of Children's books, I have decided that I want to study it full time. Anyone out there have recommendations of Masters/PhD level courses of study of Children's Literature? If the school is in or near NYC that's a big plus.
Thanks!

Have you considered an on-line course? I just completed my MBA on line, and I am working on a PHD/DBA on line.. It is much less expensive, and you are able to schedule your own time. It does, however, require a lot more discipline than traditional schools.
You may want to look at the University of Phoenix or Barrington University if this is a course of action that sounds like something you would like. It is not easy, but I prefer to study via a more non traditional route.

I did my masters work at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Although my studies were in Education, they had wonderful offerings in children's literature. This was back in the early 80's. I was able to take all of the courses offered then, and they were wonderful.
I am sure the program has grown since then.

I wish you were near Indianapolis. This fall we have a course at my seminary entitled 'Spirituality and Children's Literature'. It promises to be an excellent course; one of the instructors is a rabbi who has written a dozen or so children's books. They will examine religious and secular types of stories, as well as look generally at the role of narrative and storytelling in play, learning, and psychological development. |

The class I'm taking right now, Children's Literature and Feminist Theory is open to undergraduates (like me) and graduate students. |

Angela,
Where are you taking your course? Is it just a single course or can you get a degree?
thanks,

I'm way down in New Orleans. I believe it's just a single course. It's part of the college's curriculum and instruction, mostly geared to people with teaching aspirations. (And Children's Lit o\lovers like me).
Sorry, guess it's not too helpful. |
