The Applied Human Development program at Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development trains professionals to use research and knowledge from the field of human development to develop practical interventions, policies, and programs that promote well-being, growth, and positive outcomes for individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the Applied Human Development program, students will explore topics such as lifespan development, sport theory and social systems, cross-cultural perspectives, and social policy, as well as the impact of oppression and marginalization on human development. They’ll graduate ready to work in youth-serving organizations, support athletes to reach their peak performance, or promote health and wellness among children and youth through physical activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several options for students interested in enrolling in Boston University’s Applied Human Development program. There are two degree options (master’s and doctoral studies) and a graduate certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
