专业介绍

The School of Human Ecology has a strong tradition of outreach and counts several faculty members with budgeted extension appointments among its ranks, but all faculty members devote time and resources to ensuring their work benefits others beyond the campus. These efforts reflect the Wisconsin Idea, the notion that the university’s boundaries are those of the state, nation, and beyond. Graduate education at SoHE encompasses this mission by stressing the integration of research with program design and implementation, administration, policy development, and evaluation.

Human ecology is the study of the complex relationships between human beings and their environments. SoHE offers the Human Ecology MS degree with two named options. The Human Ecology named option is the admitting terminal master’s degrees. Students enrolled in one of the Human Ecology PhD program named options have the opportunity to earn the Human Ecology MS: Human Ecology Research degree along the way to the PhD upon successful completion of coursework and research.
