The Doctor of Philosophy in Youth Development and Family Sciences equips students to perform transformative research on youth, families, and their communities. This program trains graduates for faculty roles in disciplines like human development, family studies, child sciences, community development, and family consumer sciences, along with research careers in public and private organizations. Studies in this area examine how human development, family dynamics, and community environments shape the behavioral, psychological, and social-emotional health of young people across developmental stages. Students will learn to utilize this understanding when designing and assessing prevention initiatives and positive development programs.
