在这里学什么？

The Human Development in Context (HDC) program, formerly called Human Development and Psychological Services, examines how people throughout the lifespan develop in, are influenced by, and shape the social settings they encounter (e.g., families, communities, educational institutions, and the workplace). HDC courses focus on theories of individual and family development, as well as, the local and global dynamics of learning and cognition, social relations, and policy. This interdisciplinary program draws from current and actionable theory, research, and practice from areas as diverse as psychology, sociology, intercultural studies, gender studies, economics, and policy science.

HDC students acquire knowledge and skills, as well as critical and flexible ways of thinking and working with people across diverse contexts. This knowledge can be transferred to many different fields and professions. Frequently, students seek their first jobs in human resources, customer success management, curriculum development, research, teaching/education, social work, crisis intervention, outreach, and community education.

Flexible Coursework

Students are challenged to think of human development from multiple perspectives. In addition to core courses in life span development, research, and statistics, students have the flexibility to tailor the program to their own special interests. Many students choose to have a second major or minor, while maintaining HDC as their primary course of study.

Many undergraduate students also participate in research apprenticeships and independent studies with faculty in the School of Education and Social Policy. Members of the faculty conduct research on a variety of topics, including the psychobiology of stress, educational policy and change, motivation across the lifespan, economics of health and happiness, and community-based participatory engagement.

After SESP

With their strong academic background and real-world experience, HDC students are well prepared for many postgraduate opportunities in fields involving thinking and working with people across diverse contexts. Frequently, students will seek their first jobs in human resources, customer success management, curriculum development, research, teaching/education, social work, crisis intervention, outreach, and community education. Many professions require an advanced degree as careers progress, therefore, approximately 25% of HDC alumni go directly to graduate school following their B.S. from SESP. Even more pursue graduate work later on. HDC provides an excellent foundation for graduate work in may areas, including education, psychology, social work, law, medicine, public policy, and counseling.
