B.S. in Family Science and Human Development courses

Anchored in knowledge of human ecological systems; human development throughout the lifespan; and features of individual, relational, and familial wellness and resilience; studies in Family Science and Human Development (FSHD) prepare students for effective practice in a range of human service roles and settings. FSHD is organized around three areas of concentration/professional preparation.

All concentrations include 27 credit hours of coursework in cognate/core FSHD program courses with additional 27 credit hours of concentration credits. Each FSHD student chooses from one of the three concentrations. Twenty-seven credits are the same across all concentrations, which provides ease in changing from one concentration to another if needed.
