The Department of Human Ecology provides both coursework-focused and research-oriented Master's degree options.
Coursework programs are designed as professional qualifications primarily for working professionals seeking to enhance their current expertise, develop new capabilities, or shift their specialization. Alongside mandatory classes, students in these programs undertake a culminating project that applies learned concepts to real-world practice.
Research-focused programs concentrate on developing the abilities needed for conducting novel investigations, catering to those aiming for research-oriented careers (in policy, community, or laboratory settings) or planning to continue to PhD studies. These students complete required coursework along with an independent, innovative research project.
