The Human Development and Learning concentration will help you understand how individuals develop across the life span. You examine developmental theories and research associated with infancy, childhood and adolescence in the context of families, schools, work and community.

The curriculum combines sociology, psychology, education, policy, social justice issues and multicultural awareness to prepare you for a variety of careers.

Your studies emphasize:

  • Integrated learning from a variety of disciplines in liberal studies
  • Critical thinking and inquiry
  • Environmental and social factors that affect physical, cognitive, social and emotional development
  • Individuals as part of a multi-cultural society

You may choose to work with children, youth and/or adults as caregiver, program specialist or non-certificated educator. Other options include policy and entrepreneurial roles requiring broad knowledge of human development and learning.

If you are interested in graduate studies, Antioch offers an accelerated course of studies leading to a master's in education, psychology, management, communication, environment and community, organizational development or whole systems design. Read more about the ladder option.
