Human Development

Special Note:

**Students will be able to declare a major or minor in Human Development during the 2018-2019 school year. However, beginning in Summer 2019, it is anticipated that students will not be able to declare a major or minor in Human Development (pending university approval). Instead, a developmental emphasis will be created within the Psychology major which will contain many of the courses from the Human Development curriculum. Students who have already declared a major or minor in Human Development prior to Summer 2019 will still be able to complete their major/minor, as courses will be phased out/transitioned to psychology slowly over the next few years. If there are questions regarding this upcoming change, please contact Dr. Jenell Holstead at holsteaj@uwgb.edu. 
 

Solve Human Problems

The Human Development major helps you to understand human behavior across the lifespan. The Human Development program at UW-Green Bay uses culture, family and relationships, biology, psychology and policy to explain behavior at different stages of life. This major is perfect for students interested in working with people and helping to solve human problems. Graduates frequently move on to careers in the human services, education and business fields.

What Will I Learn?

The Human Development program offers courses and provides experiences which examine the changes that occur throughout the life span and the factors that promote healthy development as well as variations from the norm. It is an interdisciplinary, liberal arts program that examines and integrates the contributions of psychologists, biologists, anthropologists, sociologists and other scholars in understanding the human life cycle.
