The Life-Span Developmental Psychology Program (LSDP) offers substantitive training in cognition, socialization, and health across the life-span. Recognizing the diversity of life-span developmental psychology, the Program allows students to design their own course of study within our guidelines. The LSDP provides students with a mastery of the knowledge and methodological skills necessary for a successful career as a teacher/researcher in an academic setting or as a researcher in a non-academic setting on problems and issues of life-span developmental psychology.
