LifeSpan Development vs. Child Psych and Development

[Ariana214]

I plan to apply to Norwalk Community College, Gateway Community College and BHSON. My question is in regards to lifespan psych and child psy & development. The Community College packets say that I need to take Lifespan Development (Psych 201), but the BHSON website says that I need Child Psych & Development (Psych 202). My quest ions is whether or not BHSON will take Lifespan in place of Child P&D ? I would hate to have to take both of these classes when they are so similar, but I want to broaden my chances of getting into a program by applyng to all 3. Has anyone taken Lifespan Psych and been able to use that at BHSON? Thanks!

Good day:

Schools vary in what they require for prerequisites outside the core sciences (A&P, Microbiology). The community college I'm attending used to require abnormal psychology, and now they require life span development. I recommend checking with the schools for what they require, and when there is a conflict such as this psyc or that psyc, maybe take other classes where there is no conflict, question until you narrow down the exact school you will attend.

Thank you.
