Shape tomorrow's leaders. Empower individuals to reach their full potential. Studying human relations transforms your passion for people into a catalyst for societal transformation.

Whether your goal is to foster cohesive corporate teams or mobilize local initiatives, our Human Relations program equips you with the skills to emerge as a forward-thinking leader.

Newly enrolled students begin in either the Human Relations Major or Specialization program. Concentration selection occurs after successfully completing AHSC 270 (Introduction to Human Relations Theory and Research) during the first semester. This foundational course provides comprehensive insight into the various systems underlying the Human Relations concentrations. Students can subsequently transfer to their chosen concentration through the department's internal process.

We provide four specialized concentration paths: Individual & Small Group Processes (available as major or specialization), Community Development (major or specialization), Organization Development and Change (major or specialization), and Family Science (specialization only).

Family Science
While most people have family experience, not all families function optimally at all times. Family Science applies rigorous academic study to family systems, attracting professionals, educators, and researchers who examine diverse aspects of family life across developmental stages—all working toward the common objective of strengthening and enabling families.
