The Family and Child Development undergraduate program incorporates a multidisciplinary approach to the scientific study of family. Courses emphasize research-based knowledge about marriage, contemporary families, and human development. Family and Child Development majors learn about: families in society, internal family dynamics, human growth and development over the life span, human sexuality, interpersonal relationships, family resource management, parent education and guidance, family law, family policy, and family life education methodology. Typically, Family and Child Development majors enter careers working with young children, adolescents, and/or families: some desire careers as social workers, others seek employment as educators in intervention settings, while others continue on to graduate school in order to become licensed therapists in clinical intervention settings.
