Developmental Science at FIU
The Developmental Science Program at FIU provides an excellent opportunity for students to participate in knowledge development in basic and applied developmental science in a multicultural environment. As part of the developmental psychology program, all students are expected to master a
series of core course requirements designed to facilitate a thorough grounding in theory, methodology,
and content in both basic and applied research in developmental science. These core courses are delivered in lecture/seminar format by faculty in developmental psychology thoroughly versed in the
relevant areas. A number of seminars reflecting the specialized foci of our program are also offered, including advanced seminars in developmental theory and methods; cognition; emotional, intellectual,
and social development; learning and problems in child development; care giving; and gerontological psychology. Moreover, the program offers students the opportunity to specialize in Basic Developmental Science (BDS) or Applied Developmental Science (ADS) at both the masters and doctoral level.
