Students can earn credit while working on a faculty research project by enrolling in HD 4010, Empirical Research, (an undergraduate special studies course) with a chosen faculty member. Undergraduates may also conduct their own research as part of the HD Honors program, which is designed to give talented Human Development undergraduates the opportunity to formulate and carry out an independent research investigation under the supervision of a member of HD departmental faculty.Students from other departments at Cornell University may consider a minor in Human Development.
