在这里学什么？

The Human Development Major is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on human growth and development throughout the life-span, and on the familial, social, cultural, and political networks in which individuals develop. Course offerings are drawn primarily from psychology, sociology, biology, and anthropology. The Human Development Major is designed to prepare undergraduates to succeed in increasingly diverse cultural, ethnic, economic, and political environments. Respect for those differences in the context of human services settings is an integral part of our program.

Human Development Mission Statement

The mission of the Human Development Program at California State University San Marcos is to promote a lifespan understanding of human development using multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multicultural perspectives. Students in the Human Development Program explore the complex interplay of body, mind, culture, and social/environmental factors and its influence on developmental processes, outcomes, and service delivery by surveying the subject matter from the perspectives of psychology, sociology, biology, and anthropology, as well as integrative coursework. Students also acquire this knowledge through applied learning experiences using problem-based learning and field experience methods.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Development will be able to:

• Demonstrate understanding of developmental theories and how biological, psychological, familial, social, historical and cultural dynamics influence developmental processes, and use theory as a framework to address real-world problems related to lifespan development in applied settings such as counseling, health care, and education.
• Demonstrate understanding of how social categories such as gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, ability, sexuality, and religion – and the intersections of these identities – relate to diverse experiences across the lifespan.
• Apply skills, knowledge and goal-setting toward employment in health and human services, including documenting field experiences in health and human services settings.
• Demonstrate understanding of research methods that are commonly used in human development scholarship and how to design, conduct and present an original research project.
• Summarize the delivery of social services, including: funding, staffing, assessments, program development, non-clinical interventions, and evaluation.

Career Opportunities

Students with a bachelor’s degree in Human Development are qualified to work in a variety of settings related to providing services for others. These might include health care, child and adult care centers, community projects providing outreach to youth and adults, sales, human resources, service related to government agencies such as housing, law enforcement, and criminal justice, and assisting with community development, both in the United States and around the world. A bachelor’s degree in Human Development may also prepare students for graduate studies in counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, teaching, public administration, psychology, sociology, anthropology, human development, public health, business, or law, among others. Students interested in these career paths should consult with advisors and faculty in appropriate areas before planning their programs.
