HUSC 4308 Developing & Evaluating Youth Programs is a new course offered as part of the youth development concentration for students pursuing an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Human Sciences. This concentration is recommended for students who are considering careers as out-of-school educators with non-profit organizations that support youth, family and community development. When combined with the 18-hour family and consumer sciences extension education concentration, the youth development concentration is particularly appropriate for students interested in careers with Cooperative Extension or 4-H.
The 18-hour minor in youth development provides a foundation in human development targeting developmental issues unique to adolescence. Students will learn to work with youth audiences, particularly in promoting comprehensive wellness and leadership development. The 18-hour family and consumer sciences extension education minor consists of extension-based program development and evaluation, including an internship.
