MAJOR

The Human Development Program offers an interdisciplinary major focusing on the processes and changes that characterize human development. Because the major focus of this course of study is people, graduates typically choose careers involving service to some segment of the population. Such careers might include infant care, preschool management, teaching, counseling, welfare, probation, health delivery, or careers servicing the needs of adults or the elderly through community agencies. In addition, by appropriate selection of courses, students may acquire preparation for graduate study in various fields relating to human development, such as psychology, education, and sociology.

Human Development majors are advised by the Student Affairs advisor in the Psychology Department (Web site, http://www.psych.ucr.edu).

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS

General University requirements are Universitywide requirements which all undergraduates must satisfy. See the Undergraduate Studies section for a complete listing.

COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS

Students must fulfill all breadth requirements of the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. For a detailed list of requirements and a summary of units, see Degree Requirements under College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in the Undergraduate Studies section of this catalog.

Biology courses required for the Human Development B.A. degree may also be used in partial fulfillment of college breadth requirements in Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Because Human Development is an interdisciplinary major, care must be taken in satisfying Social Sciences breadth requirements; consult departmental advisors.
