2 8. Must choose at least one of the following concentrations and take at least three courses from those listed in that concentration (note the two exceptions at the end of this section). Students may fulfill the requirements for more than one concentration. B. Concentrations Courses used to fulfill a concentration may also be used to fulfill other requirements. For example, a student taking HD 250 to meet the Life Course and Family Development requirement (see point #3) could also use HD 250 to fulfill the Family concentration. Similarly, a student using NS 361 to meet the requirements of taking three courses outside the major and in Human Ecology could also use NS 361 to fulfill the Psychopathology and Atypical Development concentration. To meet the concentration requirement, a student may take all three courses in Human Development or may take two courses in Human Development and one course from outside the department. No more than one course from outside Human Development may be used to fulfill a concentration requirement. One course outside Human Development is allowed to give students increased flexibility for creating a concentration most appropriate for them. concentration requirement, it DOES NOT count toward the 30 required credits of Human Development courses. If this course is also outside Human Ecology, it DOES NOT count toward the 40 credits needed in Human Ecology. concentration requirement and it is a course from an endowed college at Cornell, then it will count against the 21 credits of endowed electives allowed to each Human Ecology student. concentration requirement, it may be taken for an S/U grade if that option is available for the course. Exception 1. Students may complete the six-course concentration in developmental psychology that is listed below. Students interested in pursing graduate studies in developmental psychology or related fields may want to consider this concentration. Exception 2. Students who believe that a concentration other than those listed below will best meet their educational objectives may petition to complete an individualized concentration. This petition must be approved by the student's faculty advisor and must provide a justification for pursuing an individualized concentration and a list of the three courses that will be taken. The petition must be submitted by the end of the third week of classes of the second semester of the student's junior year. Petitions filed after this time will not be considered. If it is approved by the Undergraduate Education Committee the student must complete the three courses listed in order to complete the individualized concentration. If the petition is not approved, the student will need to complete one of the listed concentrations. * Related electives are some of the courses that may complement a concentration. They are not requirements and may not be used to meet the three courses needed in a concentration. They are noted here for students who may want to take them either to meet requirements under Category 1 (Natural and Social Sciences) or as electives to enhance their knowledge in their area of concentration. 1.
