Developmental Psychology Concentration

In the Developmental Concentration, students will consider how development across the lifespan (from infancy through old age) is influenced by social relationships, cultural contexts, and individual differences (e.g., temperament). Students will choose among seminars that focus on a developmental stage (e.g., adolescence), on a type of development (e.g., identity), on a developmental influence (e.g., the media), or on psychopathology (e.g., attention deficits). Research (laboratory and field) and internship opportunities will ask students to apply, in real-world settings, the theories and facts learned in the classroom. This concentration will prepare students for graduate work and/or careers related to infant, child, adolescent, or adult development. 

Please contact the Developmental Coordinator, Dr. James A. Graham (609-771-2638) for more details.
