BA/BS in Human Development, Family Studies, and Related Services

This Bachelor of Arts prepares students to serve children and families as educators, advocates and leaders. Small classes and seasoned faculty with a cross-disciplinary approach help students understand how children grow and learn within their communities. Theory is combined with practice, and students enter real educational and child-focused settings early. An on-campus Childhood Development Center is a key resource. Courses cover early childhood programs, observation and assessment, and graduates can earn recognized training certificates in widely used assessment tools. The degree suits those heading toward early education, social services, counseling, graduate study or a teaching credential.
