100% Online Undergraduate Certificate in Child Life

No child should experience confusion, fear, or pain from unexpected events such as chronic illness, death of a loved one, or natural disasters. And sometimes parents, friends, and family are ill-equipped in being able to successfully helping children navigate through difficult times.

American Military University offers an online undergraduate certificate in Child Life. It will give you the tools to be able to communicate with children, help them overcome even the most challenging events, and give them and their families the tools to cope and heal. Child Life specialists have become increasingly essential to pediatric care.

With AMU's online certificate in Child Life, you will be better prepared to:

  • Provide therapeutic activities requiring coping mechanisms, such as counseling and grief support.
  • Participate in advocacy.
  • Understand theory and practice.
  • Use play as therapy.
  • Build family education strategies for anxiety and fear reduction.

You will find American Military University’s online class environment engaging and supportive for adult learners. We offer monthly start dates and 8-week class formats.

What’s next?

After completing the undergraduate certificate, additional coursework may be required to sit for the Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) examination. All candidates must complete the required fieldwork or internship hours not offered by the university directly. Additional requirements on the CCLS exam can be found at www.childlife.org.
