Family Studies Minor

The interdisciplinary minor in family studies is constructed to increase understanding of human development and the dynamic interrelationships among family members. An ecological theoretical approach focused on the interconnectedness of community, child development and family life within our society is emphasized. Furthermore, students can customize their curriculum and internship experience to complement their career focus and personal interests. A minor in family studies pairs well with majors focused on improving the health, wellbeing and sustainability of modern day families.
