Online Degree in Human Development

Human Development is a well-established major at 不良研究所, East Bay with over 700 students, expert faculty, and 30+ years of distance education experience. Our majors often go on to careers in education, social work, public administration, and child/family services; 35% of our graduates choose to attend grad school after earning their BA degrees.

Human Development majors use an interdisciplinary perspective to learn about developmental processes across the lifespan; faculty incorporate biological, sociological, anthropological, and psychological findings throughout coursework. In addition to core classes that all majors take, students also choose from one of the following concentrations:

Early Childhood Development (ages 0 - 5)
Childhood Development (ages 0 - 12)
Adolescent Development (ages 12 - 23)
Adult Development & Gerontology (ages 23 - end of lifespan)
Women's Development (girls and women across the lifespan)

 

The majority of Human Development majors complete their degrees fully online.

Students in our department come from diverse backgrounds: most are working full or part time, many are raising families, and many live outside of the Bay Area. We work with our students by offering classes in multiple modalities:

  • Asynchronous classes: work at your own pace each week.
  • Synchronous classes: join live virtual sessions with your professors and classmates.
