Program details

Overview

The human development and family science major studies how people grow and relate within families across the lifespan. It leads to a bachelor of arts and prepares students for counseling, social services, health care, education and family advocacy. Students learn to communicate with individuals and families and to support varied populations. A concentration in advocacy and family policy is available. Accelerated routes exist for ambitious students. One combines the bachelor's degree with a law degree, and another leads from the bachelor of arts into the master of divinity. Samford University is a Christian institution located in Birmingham, Alabama, and this program is taught within that faith-informed community. Prospective undergraduate students can consult the program page for course details, faculty contacts and the steps for applying. Anyone comparing options is encouraged to speak with the admissions office and to visit the campus when possible.
