What our students say about Developmental Science
My definition of Developmental Science is “studies about me, my family and friends, and other people” as we all are developing in a variety of aspects throughout our lives." -Masahiro Toyama
“The program is rigorous and prepares you well for teaching, research and practice. You learn from great faculty and interact with wonderful students with unique backgrounds.”-Courage Mudzongo
“The program is small enough that students don’t have to compete for research and teaching opportunities, but large enough to have all the resources that give students a comprehensive and personalized education.” -Alison Brennan
“You want to be here because you will not just be another face in a program. You and your success are the focus."-Jennifer Wenner
