About

In the Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) Ph.D. program at Florida State University, we train students to become the next generation of scholars, university faculty, and researchers. 

Overview

Our graduates have successfully obtained positions of their choice in some of the nation’s leading academic institutions.

Features 

  • The Human Development and Family Science curriculum at Florida State University addresses relational and family process in contemporary families, such as cohabiting couples, families of divorce and remarriage, military families, and foster families. 
  • Faculty are noted for their study of children’s friendships, couple dynamics, intimate partner violence, parenting practices, racial socialization, among other topics

Programme Structure

Curriculum: 

  • For students admitted to a Doctoral program after completing a Master’s degree, a preliminary examination must be completed within 3 years but no longer than 5 years from beginning coursework.
  • When students complete coursework, they then complete a preliminary examination. Upon successful completion of the exam, the student enters into “candidacy,” where original research is undertaken, culminating in a dissertation. 
  • Although some students complete their dissertation within a year, others take longer. The period of candidacy is limited to 5 years.

  • Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
  • Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
  • Liability
  • Home contents and baggage
  • Accidents
  • Legal aid

We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
