The Graduate Program
In addition to the enhancing developmental science research, the Program for Developmental Science Across the Lifespan advances graduate training. Graduate students in both Psychology and Human Development construct plans of study that include relevant developmental and research courses from both departments. This joint venture results in rich, flexible programs of study that maximizes the resources of both departments for graduate students studying human development across the lifespan.
Current developmental faculty members have a wide range of expertise, including cognitive and perceptual development; social development in infants, children, adolescents, and adults; family development and relationships; developmental psychopathology; community programs to promote development; developmental impacts of technology; and health and relationships in old age. Together, the faculty involved in this initiative investigate their broad-ranging interests in development from a variety of perspectives (e.g., biological, social, intergenerational, cultural) using a multitude of research strategies (e.g., laboratory studies, surveys, quantitative methods, qualitative methods). Such diverse expertise provides opportunities for collaborative research and graduate training incorporating measures and designs that integrate varying levels of analysis (physiological, behavioral, social, familial, and cultural).
