The Developmental Psychology & Education (DPE) Program is for those who wish to construct an overall perspective of developmental psychology, human development and mental health by integrating theory and practice. Students will understand the implications of these areas for practice with children in educational and other applied settings.
The MEd program involves systematic reflection on research and practice, providing you with knowledge about general learning and teaching, early childhood education and special needs education in both formal and informal settings. DPE can help you begin a career in university or college-level teaching or in research, or advance your current career with a graduate degree.
