Most of our graduates obtain employment at their internship placement site or work in an applied setting with individuals, families, or the community.
Graduates can work in a variety of human service and/or health related fields and settings in professional, managerial, or scientific roles. Students often pursue careers in which an understanding of individual and family development across the lifespan would be useful, such as counseling, education, health professions, business, policy/advocacy, public and nonprofit agencies, human services, or professional or graduate study.
