This course is designed to introduce students and future higher education professionals to a number of student development theories for both traditional and non-traditional college groups. Opportunities to learn about past and current college student development theories that help explain individual growth and development while attending a higher education institution and across multiple dimensions, including cognitive, personality, psychosocial, identity, intellectual, and moral are provided in the course. Knowledge of college student development theory can be used as a tool to understand individuals holistically, how theory informs practice for educational leaders in higher education environments, and offer opportunities to higher education professionals on how to develop and promote growth relevant to the college student’s current circumstances. Graded on A-F basis only.
