Students enrolled in the Doctor of Philosophy in Human Development and Family Sciences program have the option to fulfill master's degree requirements through the post-baccalaureate Ph.D. track. The doctoral curriculum includes two theory courses (Theories of Human Development and Family Theories), research methodology, qualitative methods, and an HDFS introductory course. Acknowledging the field's advanced methodological and statistical demands, Ph.D. candidates complete four quantitative statistics courses. To prepare for potential academic careers, students participate in a two-semester college teaching practicum. Additional requirements include: (1) leading a research project before advancing to candidacy, and (2) completing a dissertation with a minimum of 12 dissertation research credit hours. The program mandates at least eight specialization-related courses (24 credit hours), with up to four courses permitted outside the HDFS department. With committee and Graduate School approval, students may transfer up to 12 credit hours toward doctoral requirements.
