Human Development

In the area of Human Development the emphasis is on life-span development. It is our belief that education for life begins before birth and continues through late adulthood as is exemplified in the courses we offer. The classes in Human Development subject matter stress the importance of family and the solid foundation of traditional values it represents.

Courses address such topics as: preschool children, infants, toddlers, child development, and administration of child development programs. In addition, courses related to family studies, such as family development, personal development, personal relationships, life span development, and family crises are included.
