REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CERTIFICATE
Students must attend at least three Program-affiliated developmental events
a semester at the non-home institution for at least six semesters. These
events include talks organized by the Center for Developmental Science,
the Center for Child and Family Policy, the colloquium series at both
universities, brown bag developmental research and current topics groups
that meet regularly at both universities, and other program-affiliated
events that may emerge in the future.
In addition, students must fulfill two of the following three requirements
in order to successfully complete the certificate program:
- A minimum of two developmentally relevant psychology courses must be
taken for credit at the student’s non-home institution. A relevant
home institution course that is co-taught by a faculty member from the
non-home institution would count toward this requirement.
- At least one of the student’s major committees (e.g., Advisory
Committee, Comprehensive Exam Committee, Dissertation Committee) must
have at least one member who is on the developmental faculty of the non-home
institution.
- Participation in a research activity with a developmental faculty member
from the non-home university. This requirement may be fulfilled in various
ways as deemed appropriate by the faculty member providing the experience
(e.g., enrolling in a formal research practicum course, by collaborating
on a research project for no course credit, or by employment as a research
assistant).
