Our Ph.D. graduates are employed in a variety of academic and professional settings. They are deans, tenure-track professors at major universities and colleges, post-doctoral trainees, researchers, teachers, outreach educators, directors of programs for families, policy advisors, and statistical consultants. And those are only a few of the many career possibilities available with training in Family Studies and Human Development. Periodically we collect data from our graduate alumni to see what they are doing. Here is where some of them were the last time we asked.
