Whether you are mostly interested in social, emotional or cognitive development, focusing on a specific age group or population, or pursuing some specific topic within human development, Warner will work with you to help you achieve your goals. The Warner School counseling and human development program has adopted a vision for human development that emphasizes the notion that healthy human development is heavily dependent on creating healthy environments, be they in schools, communities, or healthcare facilities. The Warner School leads the way in developing transformative school and community practices, and in fostering well-being across the life course, and human development students are grounded in a particular understanding of how environmental factors shape the developmental processes that lead to life-long wellness. More specifically, the doctoral programs in human development are designed to shape students as scholars, educators, and leaders who model educational and practice settings to emphasize healthy human development using holistic approaches that consider the range of social, cultural, familial, and intrapersonal factors that influence wellness.
