The field of education encompasses a number of different academic areas. Psychology is one of several majors that provide a strong background for graduate work in education. For those students considering advanced work in child development, educational psychology, counseling psychology, or school psychology, a psychology major is particularly relevant, especially the Health and Development Track. Recommended courses include those that deal with human learning and development, some of which are cross-listed with courses offered in the School of Education.
