>> At UW-Stout, we recognize the need for providing bachelor degree opportunities for technical college graduates.
Our Online Degree Completion Program in Human Development and Family Studies is designed especially for adults with work or family obligations, and who seek increased opportunities for career and salary advancements in a variety of human service professions, or who wish to continue on to graduate school.
Our program offers convenience, flexibility, and affordability, and can be completed in two years with full-time year-round registration.
>> The Online Degree Completion Program in Human Development and Family Studies began in 2010, and it's kind of a twin sister to the on-campus program that does have a very long-standing reputation, here at Stout and also in the profession.
>> After graduating from this program, I could obtain several human services type jobs, working with families and individuals, and like group counseling and working at like a Head Start, things like that.
>> The instructors are really excellent in making sure that the online classes are offering the same kinds of opportunities as the face-to-face classes, but while they are very rigorous they're also really flexible and accommodating to peoples' realities.
>> In the program itself, you learn obviously a lot about families, the dynamics of families, the resources you need to help families, but you also learn a lot about development from childhood on to late adulthood.
>> One of the strengths of the program, I think, is the practicum experience, which comes at the end of the program.
And so it's a way for students to apply all of the knowledge and skills that they've been developing over the course of the program.
Our students are out and they're working in the kinds of jobs that they intended to work in when they went to this degree.
As far as the market in general, the human services and the helping professions are expected to grow faster than the average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
