Strengths of the UConn HDFS graduate program

Multidisciplinary: Our faculty come from a range of disciplines and their research cuts across the lifespan and multiple contextual settings
Individualized mentoring: Our student-centered advising model allows students to tailor their plan of study to meet their research interests and specific career goals in academic and/or applied settings
Diversity and culture: Our graduate courses and many faculty’s programs of research consider diversity on a number of dimensions, including but not limited to gender identity, sexual identity and orientation, race and ethnicity, culture, disability/abilities, religion, economic status, disparities, and local community functioning and norms
Health and wellbeing: At the core of all of our training and research is an interest in identifying processes and mechanisms for individuals’ and families’ health and wellbeing across the lifespan
Quantitative and qualitative methods: The methodology curriculum includes courses in quantitative and qualitative methodology, providing students with the tools to address research questions with a range of techniques
Applied/translational science: Students are trained to do research at the intersection of advancing basic scientific knowledge and developing knowledge that can be directly applied to real world settings. Our research works to understand individual and family development, and to see this knowledge used to improve the human condition

Even if the degree has been evaluated as a 4 year degree by an outside credential evaluator that is a member of NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) or AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators), we will not consider the degree to be equivalent with a 4 year US bachelor’s degree.TranscriptsPersonal Statement of Purpose
