The Master's Degree in Human Development and Social Policy, provided by the Department of Family and Consumer Studies, focuses on examining critical policies and challenges affecting families, communities, and societal structures. This two-year graduate program teaches students to apply ecological frameworks (emphasizing the interconnectedness between individuals and institutions) in both theoretical and research contexts. Participants may opt to either write a thesis or complete a practical project. The thesis track allows students to conduct original research, deepening their methodological expertise while exploring research's societal impact. Alternatively, the project option could include literature reviews, internship-based initiatives, program design, educational material development, community projects, or earning a graduate certificate. Both pathways equip students with skills to enhance wellbeing for people, families, and neighborhoods.
