Can I use work experience to substitute the lab portion of courses or the fieldwork (CDV 496) requirement?
No. Work experience will not be accepted as a substitute for the lab portion of courses or the fieldwork (CDV 496) requirement. The fieldwork/ lab work that you complete in the program is supervised with the purpose of guiding your experience in a manner that meshes with the current scientific knowledge in the field of Child Development which you will study in class. Your passing of the coursework indicates that specific learning objectives have been achieved.
