About the Program

It is rare to have the opportunity to study children's literature, but Pitt has offered courses in children's literature since as early as 1933! The Children's Literature Certificate provides students with a springboard for many areas of professional work and study. Read about Pitt's pioneering history in children's literature and childhood studies, see the national awards won by our students and faculty, explore Pittsburgh's history of special contributions to children's culture, and find out what students are saying about the program.
