Human Development and Family Studies Minor

关于 This Program

The minor in Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) is designed for students who are interested in a career working with children, adolescents or adults, and emphasizes the family as an important developmental context. Available as an online or traditional degree, students learn about developmentally appropriate practices in working with these populations which employers may value in a variety of career settings, including hospitals, 咨询, 照顾孩子, schools and other social institutions.

The minor is a useful addition to students’ 教育al background who are pursuing majors in healthcare including nurses and physicians, 教育, 业务, human services and 咨询, 人力资源, 公共关系, and occupational therapy.
