PSYC 200 D3: Lifespan Psychology

Short Description: This fully online course explores human development from conception to old age, death, and dying. We examine the interrelationship between biosocial, cognitive, and psychosocial factors as we progress through the lifespan. One goal of the course is to develop an appreciation for the challenges and opportunities facing each age. In Psychology 200, we practice thinking critically and creatively about development and exploring similarities and differences in gender, and across cultures and nations.
