The HDSP graduate program in the FCS Department aims to promote human wellness and growth through interdisciplinary research. Throughout their lives, people evolve and acquire knowledge within family units and broader environments such as communities, educational institutions, professional spaces, and other social frameworks. Examining these developmental pathways demands insights from diverse fields like economics, sociology, psychology, health sciences, and political science, among others. This graduate program equips students with multidisciplinary tools to analyze, evaluate, and perform research on crucial challenges impacting human potential and holistic well-being across physical, mental, social, and economic dimensions.
