"I believe that we have not even begun to tap human potentialities, and that by continuing humble but persistent study of human behavior, we can learn consciously to create civilizations within which an increasing proportion of human beings will realize more of what they have it in them to be."
—Margaret Mead

Applied Adolescent & Adult Development

AC 230
8 credits

The development of the individual is a microcosm of the development of humanity and society. In this AC, adolescent and adult development are dealt with through the lenses of Adlerian, developmental, and existential psychology, from adolescent belonging in groups to adult life issues of superiority and authorship. Students become responsible communicators of truth, belong in groups, strive to achieve objectives, and author their own reality in every life area. Prerequisite: AC30 Personal Power

I wasn't ever good in school. I limited myself and let others limit me. I didn't think I'd ever have the capacity to learn what I'm learning now. The non-traditional learning atmosphere at WGI is taking those barriers down. I'm not reading and taking a test—I'm engaging in my education and living what I'm learning. There's no excuse for me not to learn!
