HDE Minor Requirements

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT OFFERS TWO MINORS:

     1. Human Development Minor
​​​​​​    2. Aging & Adult Development Minor

The Human Development minor is useful for students planning a career in the human services (such as teaching, social work or occupational therapy) and majoring in other disciplines. The minor allows students to focus on a limited part of the life span (infancy through adolescence or infancy and adulthood), to select the cultural context of interest (the family or cross-cultural emphasis) and to select courses that would provide information specific to their career goals (a consideration of cognitive development or of varieties of developmental disabilities, for example).

The minor is also useful for students planning marriage and parenthood, as it gives them an opportunity to gain information about normal development, family structure and changes throughout the life cycle.

Declaring Minor:

1. Review the Minor requirements below. 
2. Submit the Minor petition on OASIS after you have enrolled in the last class.

Note: Only one course used in satisfaction of your major may be applied to your minor. If you elect more than one minor, these minors may not have any courses in common.
