Master of Education in Educational Psychology - Developmental Sciences

Human development is a complex process that is situated within a multi-layered biological, psychological, and social-cultural context. Developmental sciences focus on the examination of biological, psychological, interpersonal, and contextual factors which impact the trajectories of behaviors, personality, well-being, learning outcomes, and relationships of individuals and families across the lifespan (from infancy through adulthood). The mission of our M.Ed. program is to cultivate next generation of professionals equipped with developmental science knowledge to serve children, youth, and families across diverse populations and communities
