Students in Education and Human Development can get in touch with: The psychology of personal growth, educational psychology, and the psychology of children, adolescents and adults from a developmental perspective.

The education and human development concentration area includes an interdisciplinary framework to develop theories and practices that link how we raise our children — at school, in the family, and the community — to positive psychological outcomes in an interconnected global society. It concerns psychological development across the life span, from infancy, childhood, adolescence, to later life. For example, developmental psychology examines how babies and young children develop the ability to function in our world, including their attachment to the caregivers and their ability to communicate and think about the world.
