The Human Development curriculum is composed of several courses that provide a theoretical and practical foundation in human growth and development across the life span. These courses are organized around different topics, including educational planning, career and life planning, interpersonal communication, personal and social growth, learning theory and study skills, and success in college. The Human Development courses offered by El Centro College at this time are HDEV 1310 (Career Exploration/Planning), HDEV 2315 (Principles and Processes of Personal and Social Growth), and HDEV 0110 (Assessment of Prior Learning).
HDEV 1310 is a 3 credit hour college-level course that introduces students to the process of career decision-making and related educational planning. Much emphasis is placed on gaining knowledge and skills necessary for success in college and in the workplace. Self-awareness and interpersonal skills are also an essential part of this course.
