The Bachelor of Science in Family Science is a program of study in an academic discipline that focuses on the family as both a unique small group within society and as an important part of larger society. It studies how people organize their family relationships as a consequence of the social forces that affect their interests, choices, and other behaviours. We also offer a Bachelor of Child and Family Studies (CFS). This is a two-year post-diploma degree available to graduates of an Early Childhood Care and Education two-year diploma.
