Human Development



 
 

Human Development majors explore the psychological, social, cultural, and biological development of people from conception to old age, focusing on the processes and mechanisms of growth and change over the life course. A wide range of issues are included in the study of human development, including biological, cognitive, and emotional development; the role of family, neighborhood, workplace, and culture in development; and the influence that developing humans have on their environment.

Our work falls into six main Areas of Concentration.
