BIO 322

Cognitive Neuroscience is the study of the biological process which underlie behavior, learning, thought and experience. This course builds on students’ understanding of neuroscience and psychology to explore information processing, behavior, language, and more. Special attention is paid to the neurological factors which drive behavior and give rise to a range of disorders.
 

BIO 321

Perception and Movement are fundamentally driven by biological processes. This course provides students with an understanding of the various systems and organs that play a role in the human ability to perceive the world and move through it.

EDU 520

The comprehensive study of theoretical perspectives of human growth and development which focuses on adolescents (for middle and secondary) or children (for K-6) and their levels of development. It draws from current social science research in examining the complex array of social, psychological, cultural and physical, intellectual, emotional, social, academic and moral forces that combine to determine each individual's life course. Critical thinking, technology and communication skills will be used to enhance the learning experience. Applications to real world settings and successful passage through life will be emphasized.
