Good Phd programs in child development in the california area

[dirkwww]

I live in work in San diego and I am looking for some good PhD programs in child development in San Diego or LA. Any advice?

Not to be that guy, but have you tried Google?

 

After 45 seconds of hardcore research, it seems UC Davis is the most reputable school that offers a PhD in [exactly named] Child Development.

 

Edit: Obviously that isn't close to you - but you get the idea. PhD programs aren't necessarily the things you hope are conveniently next to you.

Frankly, if you intend to do a PhD in psychology you won't be able to work full-time while you do it at a reputable program.  Most PhD programs in psych will require you to attend as a full-time student, and many prohibit you from working outside of the program.

 

Really, you shouldn't restrict yourself geographically to one area unless you have family care commitments or physical mobility issues that prevent you from moving.  You severely limit your chances of admission, AND the perfect program for you (including both clinical and research aspects) might be in the rural Midwest or the Northeast or something.
