Additional courses include particular domains such as cognitive, moral, and symbolic development. This program has particular appeal for experienced professionals who wish to return to an academic setting to update their information, deepen their insights, and explore new areas of interest. Each student develops an area of specialization that may include an independent research project or field study. No supervised practicum is offered in this program. The program requires students to select courses in multiculturalism, research, and family studies.
Students cluster courses to complete a specialization in human development.
Electives may include several courses in one area of interest, independent or field study, or selections from the array of courses available through any department in the Graduate School. Full-time students can complete the program in four semesters. Under advisement, summer school students can complete the program in three or four summers with independent or field study completed during the intervening academic years. Graduate Programs HomePage .
