Overview

The Family and Human Studies program is an interdisciplinary two-year program designed to help students develop the skills needed to provide professional services for children and families in a variety of settings. Students will gain a thorough understanding of current theories of human development, the family environment, and the ways in which they interact with one another, as well as with their broader physical and social contexts. Students choose between two tracks: Family and Human Development (“FHD”) and Early Childhood Education (“ECE”). The FHD track focuses on theory and research that helps us better understand and strengthen individuals and families. It serves as a foundation for students wishing to become social service providers, case managers, marriage/family therapists, child therapists/counselors, community service/outreach providers, elder care providers, youth service providers, child life specialists, women’s protective service providers, policy analysts, lobbyists, advocates, etc. The ECE track is a CTE program that prepares students for (a) going directly into the workforce (CTE) or (b) transferring to a 4-year university to get a bachelor’s degree. It requires Community-Engaged Learning and lab school participation, where the student is assigned to work with seasoned professionals.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
