M.S. in Youth Development Leadership
Clemson's Youth Development Leadership master's is an online, non-thesis graduate program focused on leadership, program development, youth and family systems, evaluation, grant writing, data use, and managing staff and volunteers.
Program format: 36 credits, one accelerated course at a time, with each course lasting about seven weeks.
Why It May Fit Eliza
- She already has a Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management background.
- She has experience through Clemson Campus Recreation.
- She has also participated in FireReady / Creative Inquiry work.
- The program adds leadership, program evaluation, grant writing, and management skills.
- The online format may give her more flexibility than a traditional on-campus degree.
Important Question Still to Confirm
Eliza still needs final confirmation from Clemson about how the specific funded research assistantship would pair with the YDL degree.
Department Home
Eliza's graduate program sits within Clemson's Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management. The department is based in Sirrine Hall and is the same academic home as the faculty connected to the assistantship.
