invaluable work experience in their field
of study and often lead to postgraduate
employment. Faculty members help place
students in the workforce and work with
on-site mentors to create a meaningful
internship experience.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND
FAMILY STUDIES (MS, PhD)
Graduate Areas of Concentration
Early childhood education, family
studies, human development
The Department of Human Development and Family Sciences offers course
work and programs of study in the area
of human development and family
studies. The Gerontology Program is
also administered by the College of
Health and Human Sciences. The PhD
program in human development and
family studies has been approved by the
Western Interstate Commission for
Higher Education (WICHE) as a
regional graduate program. Students
from Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming may
attend at resident tuition rates. Areas of
study and degrees granted are described
below.
Human development and family
studies offers graduate work leading to
Master of Science and Doctor of
Philosophy degrees. Graduate programs
take a multidisciplinary approach,
preparing students for college and
university teaching and research, as well
as development, administration, and
evaluation of programs serving individuals and families across the lifespan.
Graduate programs are offered in
four areas. Human development offers a
life-span perspective from which
students may specialize in prenatal and
early childhood development, middle
childhood and adolescence, or adult
development and aging. Family studies
presents basic knowledge about families
with specific focus in relationship
development, family stress and crisis,
family policy, family structure, and
intergenerational family relationships.
Early childhood education integrates
child development theory with educational programming to facilitate the
development of young children.
Gerontology, the study of aging, is
offered as a minor area.
Research is a very important focus of
the graduate program in human
development and family studies. The
HDFS faculty includes nationally
recognized scholars who are widely
published in areas such as families and
aging; families and stress; family
communication and conflict; child,
adolescent, and adult development;
intergenerational family relationships;
family structure; gender; teacher
training, as well as methodology.

The Program on Gerontology offers an
interdisciplinary approach to the study
of aging. Because aging involves
physiological, sociological and psychological processes, gerontology education
and research is relevant to many
disciplines. Career opportunities in
gerontology are extremely diverse and
include positions in community services,
health sciences, nutrition and dietetics,
housing, health and physical education,
pharmacy, counseling, health care
administration, business, public policy,
and many other arenas.
Recognizing the diversity of relevant
disciplines and career opportunities, the
OSU Program on Gerontology offers
course work in gerontology through
11 departments. The program is
administered through the Department
of Human Development and Family
Sciences.
To be considered a gerontology
course, at least 50 percent of the course
content must address gerontologyrelated issues.

GRADUATE STUDY
IN GERONTOLOGY
OSU offers over 20 graduate-level
gerontology courses plus field study and
research opportunities. There are four
ways to pursue significant graduate
work in gerontology at OSU:
1. Adult development and aging may be
selected as an area of concentration
for both master’s and doctoral degrees
in Human Development and Family
Studies. Students choosing this
concentration will select adult
development and aging course work
and research in their major as well as
choose an integrated minor in
gerontology.
2. Gerontology is an integrated minor
(i.e., courses chosen from a variety of
departments) available to graduate
students in any major field. The
minor requires 18–36 credits, including HDFS 514, Social Gerontology.
The balance of the course work is
selected from graduate gerontology
courses, field study, and/or research.
3. Gerontology is an area of study in the
Master’s of Interdisciplinary Studies
(MAIS) program. MAIS students are
required to take a minimum of
15 credits in gerontology, including
HDFS 514, Social Gerontology. The
balance of courses is selected from
graduate gerontology courses, field
study, and/or research.
4. A Master’s of Public Health (MPH)
with a concentration in gerontology
is offered jointly by the Department
of Public Health and the Program on
Gerontology.
CERTIFICATE CURRICULUM
Students earning a baccalaureate degree
in any major at OSU may earn a
