The Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Development (HD) is designed to support student learning about the mechanisms of growth and change across the lifespan. With areas of focus in developmental science, educational psychology and statistical methodology, HD majors will explore the biological, social, emotional, and cognitive processes of learning and development from conception to old age in diverse social and cultural contexts.
Beginning in Spring 2024, HD majors can apply to our NEW Human Development Honors Program

The College of Education will be hosting Major Exploration Workshops (MEW) for the Human Development Major that students must attend prior to meeting with an Academic Advisor. We have MEWs scheduled for this Spring.
