Developmental Psychology Minor
Description
The University of Detroit Mercy minor in Developmental Psychology provides students with an overview of psychology across the lifespan. The Developmental Psychology minor educates students in human development from infancy through infant and child development, middle childhood, adolescence and old advanced age, as well as the dynamics of relationships, families, and parenting, family life and the scientific processes underlying learning and behavior. Adding this minor to the undergraduate degree complements and enhances any major by providing an understanding of developmental psychology and the scientific method.
The Developmental Psychology minor is an 18-credit program (six courses) designed to give students a broad exposure to child and family development as a scientific and professional discipline.
