Undergraduate Program
The Child and Family Studies program at Baylor University focuses on the development of families and individuals as they continue to grow and change. Students in this major of study benefit by optimizing their life as individuals, parents, and community leaders. They do this by acquiring a broad knowledge in the study of individuals, families, and relationships, and become better able to understand and work with today's families as they change and diversify. This leads to careers involving children and families in communities, government, and business.
Students in General Family and Consumer Sciences receive a broad education in all areas of family and consumer sciences. Upon graduation, students are prepared to teach in middle and high school programs or work with individuals and families in a variety of settings.
