Students with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development are qualified to work in a
variety of settings related to providing services for others. These might include
health care, child and adult care centers, community projects providing outreach to
youth and adults, sales, service related government agencies such as housing, law
enforcement, and criminal justice, and assisting with community development, both
in the United States and around the world. A Bachelor’s degree in Human Development
may also prepare students for graduate studies in marriage, family, and child counseling,
social work, teaching, public administration, psychology, business, or law. Students
interested in these career opportunities should consult with advisors in appropriate
areas before planning their programs. Finally, the Human Development major will prepare
students for master’s and doctoral level training in fields such as Sociology, Social
Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, Anthropology, Ethnic Studies, Women’s Studies,
Psychology, and Human Development, among others.
