and the integration of theory, research and practice; a proven ability

undergraduate and graduate programs, including a vibrant Ph.D. program
in Applied Child Development. Eliot-Pearson has long prided itself for
its interdisciplinary composition and its determination to study
diverse children in their diverse ecologies, with special attention to
applied settings in which children, families, and professionals
