The master of science degree in prevention science provides a broad array of opportunities for students to develop enduring collaborations with research centers and faculty members in the College of Education toward the goal of learning scientific skills that serve our diverse communities.
This is a two-year, 65 credit master’s degree program primarily intended for students who have:
- completed a bachelor’s degree in a related discipline or have human development, psychology, education, biology, human physiology, nutrition or prevention science experience
- are interested in advanced statistics/methodology and research training beyond what is offered in the one-year MEd program.
Students applying to the MS will likely have more clearly defined academic goals and seek more in-depth scientific and methodological training in prevention science and program evaluation than students interested in the one-year MEd.
The two-year MS program also provides greater opportunities for students to develop long-term collaborations in research centers and with faculty members both within and outside the program, but does not require the commitment involved in completing the PhD.
