About Health and Human Development

Penn State has built a storied reputation as a change leader — an impact maker — and the College of Health and Human Development (HHD) is no exception.

We offer a robust program of eight interdisciplinary programs that share one common goal: enriching the lives of others. We continually examine contemporary issues facing people in today’s changing times, and we develop cutting-edge solutions for addressing them. Our impact extends from our classrooms, across communities and industries, and around the globe.
