Redefining the educational experience
Uniquely designed to meet the needs of SFA’s diverse student population, the Bachelor of Science in family sciences with a human development and family studies concentration was the university’s first fully online program.
Your studies will provide an in-depth understanding of how individuals and families grow, change and develop over time. Although our courses are online, we don’t overlook the importance of hands-on, direct experience. You’ll complete a 200-hour practicum that will help you grow in your field of interest, and you’ll have the opportunity to participate in professional development programs, including field trips and volunteering.
Get ready to work!
The broad focus of the concentration in human development and family studies prepares you for a career in a variety of fields, including adoption agencies, youth programs, child welfare, patient advocacy, hospitals, marriage and family enrichment programs, nursing homes and corporate child care. Graduates also work in research, international education and development, early childhood education and faith-based organizations.
