Adolescence

Washington State University

The department of Human Development offers a Certificate in Adolescence. The certificate reflects a high standard of training and experience in this specific area of human development. Non-human development majors are required to complete any prerequisites for the internship requirement. The requirements include 6 credits in H D core courses that support the area of certification, 15 credits in required and optional courses and 4 credits of internship that reflect the area of certification. Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.6 in those courses that count toward the certificate.


Pullman students may pursue a certificate in adolescence while obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Development, another bachelor’s degree, or independent of completion of a bachelor’s degree. The certificate program provides students with the knowledge and professional skills to seek employment in a variety of settings that focus on teens/youth including, but not limited to:

  • Adolescent counseling centers
  • Youth programs
  • The juvenile justice system
