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 in 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.
