Human Growth and Development

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course examines human growth and development with an emphasis on social processes from birth to death. The course follows a life cycle approach and addresses the influence of issues such as culture, class, gender and sexual orientation. Linkages are drawn between individual human development and health and social welfare policy, particularly as it effects residents of northern British Columbia. Note: students who have not taken a human growth and development course must take this course prior to graduating with a BSW. If students have previously taken a human growth and development course, they must check with their Student Advisor to ensure that the course meets the Human Growth and Development requirement. Prerequisite(s): Enrolment is limited to students admitted to the Health Sciences, Nursing, Psychology and Social Work, or with permission of the Social Work Chair. Preclusion(s): PSYC 345-3 and PSYC 211-3
