<B>The Major Program</B>
</FONT></H3>
<P>
Human development explores the developmental process in humans throughout the life cycle. Cognitive and personality/social development are studied from various perspectives.
<P>
<B>The Program.</B> Human development majors complete a group of preparatory courses in anthropology, biological sciences, genetics, nutrition, physiology, psychology, statistics, and human development. Upper division students can design their programs in consultation with a faculty member to emphasize a particular interest. For instance, students can study the social and the biological aspects of human development while emphasizing child or adult development.
<P>
<B>Internships and Career Alternatives. </B>At least one practicum course is required. A second practicum or supervised internship can be used to fulfill the requirements for the major. In addition, students can intern in schools, early childhood education centers, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, probation offices, group foster homes, mental health clinics, or as tutors for handicapped or bilingual students. Human development graduates fill a wide variety of positions in preschools, elementary and special educational settings, as well as governmental jobs related to social welfare and recreation. Those who emphasize the biological aspect of human development can apply to medical school or pursue training for positions in the health sciences. Human development prepares students to pursue advanced degrees in behavioral and social sciences, education, social work, family law, or health sciences.
