PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This is a pre-professional program designed around an interdisciplinary major with study in life-span human development, life sciences and psychology. The focus is on the physical and psychological development of the individual from conception to death. Theoretical study concentrates on functions of cognition, emotion, perception, social, moral and spiritual aspects of people. Students completing the major will be strongly encouraged to pursue graduate study in a variety of areas including: psychology (clinical, developmental, school, health, research); medicine and related health areas; and human services (delivery systems, health care policy formation, agency administration.) When coupled with appropriate studies in religion, students may qualify for admission to seminaries.
