All degree programs in the Department of Family Sciences are open enrollment. However, special limitations apply for teaching majors.
Family scientists examine theories, research, and practices related to the quality of life in families. The bachelor's degree, which prepares students to write and think analytically about family and society, can be a broad liberal arts major, can be a means to teacher certification, or can be a preprofessional degree for social sciences graduate study. The department's philosophy is that societal and community health centers around families.
Family sciences scholarship provides (1) frameworks by which human development and family behavior can be explained, (2) applications of principles and skills that contribute to quality family relationships and appropriate use of family resources, and (3) research that addresses optimal human development, the wise use of family resources, and the well-being of family members.
To receive a bachelor's degree a student must fill three groups of requirements: (1) general education requirements; (2) university requirements; and (3) major requirements.
Please see your college advisement center for information about general education courses you should take to dovetail with your major program.
