MAJOR IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND FAMILY STUDIES
For the Degree of Science in Human Development and Family Studies
The human development and family studies program prepares students for a variety of careers in human services, early childhood education, and public service, or for advanced study in individual and family development. Students can concentrate on their special interests in human development, such as infancy, early childhood, or adolescence, or on their special interests in family studies, such as the marital relationship, parent-child interaction, family change, or conflict and conflict management in the family. Basic courses in these areas are linked to practical experiences in educational and community settings. Such experiences help graduating students to find placement in a graduate educational program or employment in areas of greatest interest to them, such as child care services, family life education, human services, marriage and family counseling, pediatric services in hospitals, cooperative extension work, or business activities related to children and families. Students select one of two options within this major: child and adolescent development or family studies. Issues related to cultural diversity and gender are emphasized in most courses.
