Description
Students will be introduced to the ways in which individuals and group behavior develop in interaction with the social environment. Through the lens of theoretical frameworks, students will understand the dimensions and complexity of the human experience and how culture shapes individual values, beliefs, and worldviews. Human development will be examined throughout the lifespan, using the developmental scientific knowledge regarding opportunities and vulnerabilities present during the different stages of the life cycle and the biopsychosocial factors that can influence individual development.
