Developmental Psychology Degree Programs
|
Developmental psychology is the study of psychological, emotional, and perception changes that occur in people over the course of their lives. Historically, developmental psychology has focused almost exclusively on infant and child development, however, the field today also addresses the psychological development of adolescence, adults, elderly, and every other stage of a human's life span. This branch of psychology attempts to understand and address change across a range of topics including cognitive development, including moral understanding, problem solving, and conceptual understanding; motor skills and other psycho-physiological processes; language formation and development; personality, social, and emotional development; and identity development and self-concept formation.
As is the case with many branches of psychology, new breakthroughs and discoveries are occuring in the field of development psychology at a surprising rate. The number of careers for individuals with training in developmental psychology continues to grow, making this branch of psychology one of the most marketable in today's economic environment. Jobs for developmental psychology professionals can be found at public and private hospitals, nursing and residential care facilities, non-profit healthcare agencies, universities, and several other related organizations.
Earning a Ph.D. in psychology provides the greatest job opportunities for those seeking employment in developmental psychology. Developmental psychologists with a Ph.D. can pursue research interests, remain in academia to teach, or work independently or in conjunction with hospitals or other types of healthcare facilities. Earning a master's degree will qualify you for career opportunities in couseling, research, data collection, and psychological analysis type positions. Those with a bachelor's degree often find jobs in day care settings and preschools, as psychological or rehabilitation assistants in healthcare clinics, hospitals or residential care facilities.
Below you'll find accredited colleges and universities providing online and campus-based associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs in developmental psychology.
