Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies (CAMS) Minor
At the NYU Child Study Center we do our best to educate all facets of our society about child and adolescent mental illness. Nationally, there is very little emphasis on the mental health problems of children and adolescents at undergraduate colleges and universities. To address this critical need, we have created several undergraduate courses and the first college minor in child and adolescent mental health studies in the country at New York University.
