Undergraduate Students
Welcome to the family social science undergraduate program. This
multidisciplinary major is a great match for students interested in helping
people, developing counseling skills, and understanding human relationships
across the lifespan.
After completing extensive coursework in family social science and a
rigorous internship, our graduates are well-prepared to work with families
in professional environments. Many continue their educations through
graduate study in family science or related family programs such as marriage
and family therapy or social work.
Our students follow career paths that take them all over the world but
they are all committed to one vision: a better future.
