These include the UW Child Development Lab, Center for Financial Security, the Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies, the Waisman Center, the Institute for Research on Poverty, and the Morgridge Center for Public Service. In addition to world-renowned faculty, students in the program can take advantage of the department’s many affiliated programs and Centers. Many students work closely with policy and community, both locally and nationally, to gather, disseminate, and apply scientific knowledge. The Wisconsin Idea of transferring knowledge into real-world solutions facing today’s individuals, families, and communities is central to our program.

A chance to work closely with world-class faculty offers opportunities to co-author scholarly articles, present at conferences and professional workshops, collaborate on research and evaluation projects, and engage with community groups and policy makers to impact social change. We believe graduate training is most effective when students are able to pursue research and outreach tailored to their individual interests and aspirations. We encourage scholarship that takes into account the larger social and cultural contexts in which people live and develop, including community, social class, ethnicity, historical change, and public policy. Faculty have diverse research interests and are professionally active with strong records of national and international scholarship and service. The HDFS program is served by a full-time faculty of 13 and additional affiliated faculty from other UW–Madison departments. Those who are interested in a terminal master’s degree are encouraged to apply to the Master of Science in Human Ecology Program. Students who enter the PhD program without a master’s degree complete their master’s degree along the way.
HDFS offers an interdisciplinary approach to development across the lifespan leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree.
Among the top of its kind nationally, the graduate program in Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison provides challenging opportunities for advanced study, research, and outreach.
