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:
- Review the Minor requirements below.
- Submit the Minor petition on OASIS after you have enrolled in the last class.
Note: Only one course from the list of classes for the minors below can overlap between your major and minor. PSC 140 is not accepted for HDE minor. All minor classes must be taken for the letter grade. If you elect more than one minor, these minors may not have any courses in common.
For questions regarding the Human Development Minor or the Aging and Adult Development Minor - email an HDE advisor or come by to the Zoom drop-in advising. See the HDE Advising Center page for details.
