Course Description
The course is designed to give an overview of developmental processes throughout the life-span. It will not be able to cover many of the developmental topics in much detail. Those students who have already taken a child/adolescent class or an adulthood and aging psychology class are advised to take a different developmental class such as language acquisition or exceptional child because there will be quite a bit of overlap in this life-span course with the child/adolescent and adulthood courses. Students such as pre-nursing students, required to take a life-span course, may have to take this course anyway because of degree requirements.
Course Credits: 3
Prerequisites: PSYC1301
