A new doctoral degree program at WSU focuses on the science behind preventing some of the thorniest social issues in the nation rather than costly, after-the-fact treatment or intervention.
The WSU Department of Human Development will launch the new Ph.D. in Prevention Science program with a guest lecture by one of the nation’s leading experts in prevention science, Rico Catalano, at 4 p.m., Monday, Oct. 8, in the WSU Honors College Lounge.
The session, entitled “The Research Base for Prevention Science” is free and open to the public.
Catalano’s visit is sponsored jointly by Human Development and WSU Health and Wellness Services. Read more about Catalano at WSU News Online.
