About the
Department
Department Overview
The Institute of Child Development (ICD) at the University of
Minnesota has long been a premier center for scholarship, teaching, and outreach devoted to the understanding and fostering of child
development. Founded in 1925, the Institute is one of the oldest departments studying children’s development in the United States. From its
inception, a key tenet of the department has been to “give away” child psychology. This philosophy has created an environment rich with
collaborations, new ideas, and exciting interdisciplinary work. ICD, which is recognized
internationally, offers degrees in developmental
psychology and early childhood education, including the long-standing top-ranked PhD in developmental psychology. Housed in ICD, the Child
Development Laboratory School (CDLS) provides the highest quality early care and is a training site for university students majoring in
early childhood education. Another critical component of ICD is the Center for Early Education and Development (CEED) which conducts applied
research, professional development and policy education and community outreach to effect positive change in early education, childcare, and
public policy. The Institute strives to create an inclusive environment where every student, staff member, and faculty member feels valued
and has meaningful experiences that affirm and embrace their identities, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds.
