Family and Child Major

Our family and child major will prepare you to make a lasting and impactful difference in the lives of families and children. As a student, you will choose from four closely related concentrations in Child Life, Early Care, Early Intervention, and Family Science. You will graduate prepared to work in a variety of settings serving children, youth, and families of all ages. Career opportunities abound in business, consumer and family resource services, community-based social services, early care and education, education for youth through adulthood in out-of-the traditional classroom settings, family intervention, faith-based organizations, government and public policy, and healthcare and family wellness. Students graduate prepared to pursue a master's degree which can lead to more career opportunities in international education and development, research, and writing and communication for public service.
