Youth Studies
If you are passionate about improving young lives, we will give you the knowledge and resources you need. You'll learn how to work with young people from every walk of life, including urban settings and diverse communities. Develop skills that will help them build confidence and interest in their world. You won't just learn in the classroom - you'll be active in the community. There are now programs available for students who wish to major or minor in Youth Studies.
Social Justice Minor
The 18-credit Social Justice Minor offers undergraduate students the opportunity to both theorize about the meanings of social justice and to practice "doing" social justice advocacy in community organizations.
Family Violence Prevention Minor
The Family Violence Prevention Minor is a 15-credit interdisciplinary undergraduate program for students interested in strengthening their educational experience with a research base and a set of practical skills in family violence. Courses are designed to teach students in fields related to social services, education, health care, and other direct service fields about issues related to child abuse and neglect, adult domestic violence, elder abuse, and intergenerational abuse.
