Welcome to the Department of Human Development and Family Science

Human Development and Family Science students understand the developmental stages of humans from birth to aging adults. HDFS students are caring, hard working and service oriented. The Center for Early Childhood Teaching and Learning provide hands-on classroom experiences and research opportunities for Early Childhood Education graduates who are highly sought after by principals. Child and Family Services graduates are well prepared to provide support and service to the communities where they are employed.

Students in the Family and Consumer Sciences Education option gain interdisciplinary knowledge and skills they will apply in secondary (grades 7 – 12) schools (FACSED) or county Cooperative Extension Service (FCSES) work.
