Human Development and Educational Psychology Program Description

 ^TOP

The Human Development and Educational Psychology (HDEP) Specialization at the University of South Dakota immerses students in a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural study of children, adolescents, and young adults. Students will learn research-based theory and practice in an applied setting, designed to develop competency in human development, educational psychology, and research and statistics. HDEP students are involved in experiencing and studying human development, cognition, and motivation where it takes place, in families, schools, communities and the larger culture. While students gain a breadth of understanding across these areas, individual specialization within a content area is expected.

The program is flexible in meeting students’ real-world needs. Our M.A., Ed.S. and Ph.D. programs can be completed in hybrid format, with courses meeting face-to-face on campus 1 or 2 times a month on Wednesday evenings or Saturdays. Online courses are available to meet some, but not all, program requirements. HDEP faculty work closely with every student to design an individualized curriculum. Whether a master’s candidate interested in developing better teaching methods for students or a doctoral candidate pursuing a research career in the developmental sciences, your coursework will be uniquely packaged to fit vocational needs and personal interests. Mentorship in teaching and research is a high priority at all degree levels. To ensure a comprehensive educational experience, Ph.D. students are expected to actively engage in departmental activities, including research and teaching. This includes maintaining enrollment in hybrid or on-campus courses at 6-credits per fall and spring semester during 2 of their years in the program.

Mental Health Counseling Graduate Certificate

Program Description

Many states, including South Dakota, have moved or are moving to a required 60 hours of training for mental health counseling licensure. In South Dakota, for example, this license is known as Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). In order to accommodate application requirements for the LPC and other similar state counseling mental health licensure, often an additional 12 credit hours of graduate work beyond a 48-hour community or clinical mental health counseling program is needed. This mental health certificate will provide the additional coursework to assist with 60-hour licensure requirements. The courses for this certificate will be provided by a CACREP approved counseling program at USD and provide training in clinical supervision, co-occurring disorder counseling, psychopathology, and psychopharmacology. *Applicants are encouraged to contact their state professional counseling licensing board to confirm that the courses offered in the Clinical Mental Health Certificate program will help to achieve their licensing goals.
