The accelerated B.S./M.S. program will provide exceptional undergraduates with the opportunity to obtain both a Bachelor of Science in Family Studies and Human Services and a Master of Science in Life Span Human Development in 5 years, a shorter time than typically required to earn a B.S. plus M.S. if both degrees are pursued separately. This program has thesis, report or manuscript formats. The application process is the same as for the traditional M.S. degree except that completion of the B.S. degree is not required. Applied Human Sciences is focused on the study of individuals and families from a multidisciplinary perspective. Programs emphasize developmental processes throughout the life cycle, interpersonal relationships, intervention for speech, language, and hearing problems, and educational programming for children and families. Undergraduate programs include communication sciences and disorders, early childhood education, family and consumer sciences education, human ecology, and human development and family science.
