Norton School of Human Ecology
The John and Doris Norton School of Human Ecology provides instructional, research, extension and outreach programs that enable families, individual family members and consumers to achieve an optimum quality of life throughout the life span. Instructional programs prepare professionals for careers serving families and consumers in a culturally diverse and rapidly changing society.
There are two broad areas of study at Norton School, Human Development and Family Science and Retail and Consumer Sciences. Currently we only offer a Ph.D. program in Human Development and Family Science.
The HDFS graduate program curriculum is designed to provide broad exposure to developmental and interpersonal and family theories, to develop research skills and expertise, and to build in-depth knowledge in a content area chosen by the student.
