Masters in Human Development:
Throughout our lives, we go through many changes from birth to death. These changes can be physical, socio-emotional, cognitive/intellectual, environmental etc. Transformation happens at every stage of life and through all this; we are shaped by our families, community and our society. Students belonging to the field of Human Development look at how people grow and how they form relationships throughout their lives. The field prepares professionals to meet the society- relevant challenges. They explore the dynamics between people within their families as well as those between families and the greater world.

A masters degree program in Human Development can be completed in two years and the program immerses students in the study of lifespan development, family systems, social policy, and the research process. On completion of this course; students often pursue careers in research, policy analysis, education and community outreach.
