Program Description
The interdisciplinary field of Human Development and Family Science focuses on interpersonal processes and outcomes that influence and are influenced by human development within the family context. Relevant methods, concepts, and theory draw from the fields of
HDFS and from psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, biology, health, and education. The Division of Human Development and Family Science (in the John and Doris Norton School of Human Ecology at the University of Arizona) Minor program
supplements other graduate training to prepare social and behavioral scientists for research, teaching, and other professional careers in academic, government, and private-sector settings. The program description outlined in this handbook pertains to the Minor in HDFS, which is
supplemental to Doctoral training in another, primary, discipline. Research, teaching and outreach within the HDFS Division are focused in four core areas:
o Resilience and health of marginalized populations
o Early childhood and adolescent populations
o Romantic and family relationships across the lifespan
o Innovative methods and models for studying families and development
There are two options for an HDFS minor. The first focuses on content (the first 3 core areas above) and the second focuses on quantitative methods (the last of the core areas above).
