Graduate study leading to a Master of Science degree is offered in Human Development and Family Science, Counseling, Merchandising, Educational Leadership, Athletic Training, Leadership in Physical Education and Sport, Exercise Science, Nutrition Science, Dietetics, and Teacher Education. A Master of Education degree may be earned through Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences and the School of Education. A Master of Athletic Training (MATrg) degree may be earned through Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences. Doctoral programs also are offered by the college in Counselor Education and Supervision, Developmental Science, Education and Exercise Science and Nutrition. The doctoral program in Education (Ph.D. or Ed.D.) has a cross-disciplinary emphasis, which allows students a choice between three tracks: Adult & Community Education, Institutional Effectiveness, and Organizational Learning & Leadership. A dual major doctoral program in gerontology is offered in coordination with a doctoral degree from one of the following areas: Developmental Science, Education and Exercise Science and Nutrition. For more complete details, see the Graduate Bulletin online.
The College of Human Sciences and Education offers seven master’s programs or program options online. Online programs make earning an advanced degree an option for anyone accepted into the college of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. The programs are: Merchandising, Family Financial Planning, Gerontology, Youth Development, Family and Consumer Science Education, Dietetics and Leadership in Physical Education and Sport.
