Admission Requirements Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree in human development or a related field (e.g., psychology, sociology).

Program Description The program is a prevention-based graduate program that promotes the well-being of children, youth, and families. Through their coursework, research, and practical experiences, students receive an integrated education in developmental and family theories, research, and application. Using a prevention science approach, the master’s program provides students with valuable skills such as needs assessment, program development, and program evaluation that prepare them for careers in educational and social service settings; the strong research emphasis and thesis experience prepare interested students for doctoral programs and careers in research and teaching. Numerous departmental resources support the integrative mission of the program, including the Child Development Laboratory, a department-run, on-campus early childhood program, and university extension programs for youth and families throughout the state. Graduates of the program are highly desired by employers in human service agencies, early childhood education, school-age child care programs, Head Start, programs for adolescents, and community college teaching.
