Human Development

专业详情

The Human Development major is open to students in the College of Human Ecology.

Students interested in pursuing a Human Development major will gain an understanding of Psychological Science broadly, building a strong theoretical and empirical foundation in the behavioral sciences while exploring the social, cultural, biological, and cognitive development of humans across the life course. The major also emphasizes translational research and community engagement concerning health and well-being, social and environmental factors (e.g., schools and neighborhoods), and decision-making on context (e.g., legal settings). Please visit the Human Development fact sheet for additional information. 

Admission to the Major

Most students apply to the major during the regular admissions process for the College of Human Ecology and start their time as first-year students. Those students who change major from within the College of Human Ecology simply need to meet with the Student Services Coordinator in the major, Tim Snyder, and submit a change of major form. Students from outside the college will need to do an internal transfer into the college and the major (admissions link here). We recommend that students change major before their Junior Year, though, depending on previous coursework, exceptions have been made to this deadline.
