The Youth Development graduate certificate program allows students to understand, integrate, and apply conceptual approaches to youth development, including asset building, positive youth development, community youth development, risk, and resiliency. K-State offers two graduate certificates in youth development: Youth Development Professional and Youth Development Administration.
Using a strengths-based approach, the program helps students learn how to support youth to make them socially, emotionally, and cognitively competent adults.
To complete the program, a student must complete 12 credit hours of coursework plus a 1-credit fundamentals course.
Program is offered through the Great Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (GPIDEA).
