HDFS Undergraduate Programs
Do you like people? Do you want to make a difference in the world? If so, HDFS is the major for you!
The Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) major is a great choice for a “people person”. This major prepares students for careers that help others, contribute to one's community, and provide a sense of making a difference in one's society. Many factors make an HDFS major very valuable, such as a growing older adult population, a stable high divorce rate, and more dual income families leading to more children being in child care. Having the knowledge of how children and families develop is an extremely valuable asset for a variety of careers, from teaching children, to working in social service settings with children and families, to working with older adults.
Students who major in Human Development and Family Science can choose one of three undergraduate program options:
- Early Childhood Development and Education,
- Middle Childhood Development and Education, and
- Family Studies.
