PSYC 232: Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood

Class Program
Credits 3
This course will help students examine the dynamic age period through the lens of the world's diverse cultures. Adolescence is the period of the life course between the time puberty begins and the time adult status, roles, and responsibilities within a culture are undertaken (roughly ages 10 to 18). Emerging adulthood is a period between ages 18-25 years, after adolescence and before young adulthood. It is a period of identity exploration, instability, self-focus, in-betweenness, and possibilities between adolescence and adulthood.
