Health & Human Development - Health and Human Development

The Department of Human Development and Community Health (HDCH) is a group of dedicated faculty and staff whose interests focus on well-being from early childhood through gifted performers to families and communities; by teaching, research, and outreach to the community; in the public and private sectors. All undergraduate and graduate programs in the HDCH Department operate on the premise that human well-being must be viewed as holistic, and include the following five domains of health: social, intellectual, physical, economic/financial, and emotional/spiritual. Students are prepared to work with individuals, families and/or communities to promote health and wellness.
