Overview

Students in the human development and family science (HDFS) degree program study theory and conduct research in a variety of supervised field experiences. Students will investigate the ways in which individuals interact within the family system and with the larger socioeconomic environment, as well as the process of biosocial, psychosocial and cognitive development across the lifespan. The HDFS undergraduate major provides a foundation for students interested in working with individuals and families. HDFS graduates are in demand in community settings, businesses and organizations for their knowledge of family and group dynamics, as well as their skills in program development and training. Graduates also have an excellent foundation for additional training in teaching, school counseling, marital and family counseling, social work, family law and occupational therapy.
