Developmental Psychology

Using a developmental psychology lens, this course focuses on providing students with an opportunity to improve understanding of self. Through personal reflection, students will examine the human lifespan from conception and prenatal development through old age and death. Students will gain understanding and perspective of their development across physical, cognitive, social, and personality contexts. Examination of fundamental theories, historical arguments/perspectives and current issues provide opportunity for critical thinking and application of influences to one's development within the student's life.
