Online Degree Programs

The major in Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) is offered in two formats, both leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. We offer classes to on-campus degree-seeking students and we offer distance students the HDFS degree through CSU Online. The major in Human Development and Family Studies offered through CSU Online provides a flexible, convenient, and accessible format for busy, working, or distance students. The online program of study is the same as the on-campus version, is fully accredited, and is indistinguishable on student transcripts and diplomas from the on-campus version. The Gerontology Interdisciplinary Minor and courses required to pursue a variety of certifications are also available online.

Accelerated Program 

The major in Human Development and Family Studies includes an accelerated program option for students to graduate on a faster schedule. Accelerated Programs typically include 15-16 credits each fall and spring semester for three years, plus 6-9 credits over two to three summer sessions. Students who enter CSU with prior credit (AP, IB, transfer, etc.) may use applicable courses to further accelerate their graduation. Visit the Office of the Provost website for additional information about Accelerated Programs.

Gerontology Interdisciplinary Minor

The Gerontology Interdisciplinary Minor is housed in HDFS and is available on-campus as well as online. The Gerontology Interdisciplinary Minor offers students the opportunity to earn an undergraduate minor in gerontology with training across multiple disciplines. The Gerontology Interdisciplinary Minor prepares students to work in a variety of fields where it is critical to understand the aging process, including the biological, psychological and social aspects of adult development and aging. Admission is ongoing throughout the year. The full program may be found under University-Wide Instructional Programs.

Graduate Programs in Human Development and Family Studies

The Department of Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) offers a Master of Science degree with two specializations and one doctoral program in Applied Developmental Science. The focus of the department is on the study of individual and family development across the lifespan; the development, implementation, and evaluation of intervention and prevention programs for individuals and families at risk; and the influence of social institutions such as schools and communities on development. Our graduate programs advance students' understanding of human behavior and development, as well as enable them to contribute to scholarship and professional practice. 

Students interested in graduate work should refer to the Graduate and Professional Bulletin and the Department of Human Development and Family Studies.

Certificate

Master's Programs

There are two specializations offered under the Master of Science in HDFS: Prevention Science and Marriage and Family Therapy. Curricula in both programs include core courses in individual development, family theories, current research and issues in HDFS, and research methods. A research thesis is also required.

Online Master's Program

The online Master of Prevention Science Practice trains graduates to implement evidence-based prevention programs for use at the community-level in preventing mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. The course work emphasizes lifespan developmental processes and normative family functioning, as well as theories of prevention science and risk and resilience. 

Ph.D.

The program in Applied Developmental Science builds upon coursework completed in a master’s program, yet allows for more advanced, tailored, and personalized learning. Doctoral training also emphasizes mentorships with faculty in order to apply coursework to research in students’ areas of specialization.
