Human Development and Family Studies
Because our courses can change from time to time, it is important to keep in close contact with your advisor to learn about any alterations to your degree plan.
The need for quality child care and a growing elderly population has dramatically increased the demand for professionals in human development and family studies.
Students in human development and family studies take a developmental approach to understanding human growth from prenatal development to old age. Study of the family as a system and as the basic unit of society is the foundation of our flexible curriculum. Concepts covered include: marriage and family relationships, prenatal development and birth, infant and toddler development, parenthood, early childhood growth and development, administration of dependent care programs, family resource management and the family in later life.
The Marc Cisneros Center for Young Children provides opportunities for students to gain experience in working with preschool age children and their parents in a closely supervised setting.
