Curriculum
The BA in Education and Human Development program requires 128 credits that begin with 40 credits of 10 required core courses exploring the field of human development broadly. An additional 16 credits taken from the minor programs in Childhood Studies, Disability Studies or Gerontology then accompany the major, providing opportunities for students to specialize in studying the range of human development stages and abilities. The program is very transfer-friendly.
As students complete the introductory courses, the curriculum requires 8 credits of service-learning and/or paid internships, with additional experiential electives strongly encouraged. In addition to these 64 credits in the major, all 淫性视频 BA degrees require 32 additional credits in General Education and courses deemed "At Some Distance" or cognitively different than the major. Through this last degree requirement, students who are interested in multiple minors may earn those in any additional area(s) of specialization.
