The program in Applied Developmental and Educational Psychology draws on psychology, education, and related knowledge bases. The program is designed to prepare students to conduct research, develop educational and community programs, and engage public policies to enhance the of development of individuals during the childhood, adolescent, or adult years. We emphasize educational and human service applications and focus on work involving diverse populations. Approximately nine full-time faculty teach in the Applied Developmental and Educational Psychology Programs.
Faculty members encourage student-faculty collaboration on research and service projects.
Students in the Applied Developmental and Educational Psychology Program may take related courses in other programs at Boston College as well as at Boston area universities that form a consortium with Boston College.
