New Major: Developmental & Youth Studies in SES

The 56³Ô¹ÏÍø’s School of Educational Studies is set to launch a new major in Developmental & Youth Studies in Autumn 2025, designed for students interested in education-related careers beyond the traditional K-12 classroom. This program delves into human development from early childhood through emerging adulthood, emphasizing the diverse contexts—such as family, school, and community—that shape identity and growth.
Students will engage with critical perspectives on development theories and cultural viewpoints, while also acquiring leadership skills to foster partnerships with families and communities. The major aims to prepare graduates to become advocates for social change and equity in various professional settings.
