She went on to earn her M.Ed in Child Psychology from the University of Maryland and PhD in Educational Psychology from Penn State University. During her career as a family therapist and educational consultant, Dr. Carton also hosted a syndicated radio program for CBS Radio called "Dr. Lonnie Carton in the Learning Center." In this oral history interview, she describes her undergraduate education at Hopkins as one of only a few women attending as full-time students, as well as the development of her career and family. This oral history is part of the Hopkins Retrospective oral histories series.
