MSc Program
Applied Human Nutrition
The MSc program in applied human nutrition
incorporates both physiological and behavioural aspects of human nutrition
and spans all age groups in its focus on the role of nutrition in
human health and well-being. Special attention is given to therapeutic
and community nutrition, nutrition education, and nutritional epidemiology.
Clinical populations are available at McMaster University. Community-based
research opportunities are available through the Public Heath Research
Education Development Unit. The MSc program normally requires two
years of study.
Family Relations and Human Development
The MSc program in family relations and human
development draws on several disciplines in the study of family dynamics
and individual development within the context of the family across
the life-cycle. The program promotes a broad and sophisticated understanding
of human development and family functioning and supports students'
specialization in an area of emphasis. Current areas of emphasis in
research are:
- Child and adolescent development - parent-child relationships,
peer
relationships, early childhood services, program development and
evaluation,
- adult development and family relations - intergenerational relations,
alternate family structures, human sexuality, gerontology
Couple and Family Therapy
The MSc program in couple and family therapy
is an intensive 27 month (seven semester) program in theory, research,
and practice, accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage
and Family Therapy Education of the American association for Marriage
and Family Therapy. The program is designed to produce sophisticated
therapists and scholars by integrating contemporary theory, research
competence, and systemic approaches to therapy in the understanding
and treatment of individuals, couples, and families. This integration
is coupled with high standards of professional and ethical conduct,
attention to broader social issues impacting on couples and families,
and an emphasis on issues of diversity and gener (both men's and women's
experience).
