Quality Overall Is Important

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to developmental & child psychology students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of developmental & child psychology students who choose to seek a bachelor's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized developmental & child psychology related body.
