Those enrolled in the family and human services (FHS) program dedicate themselves to enhancing people's wellbeing. Mirroring the varied nature of community and social services, FHS integrates multiple disciplines, incorporating insights from psychology, counseling, social work, prevention studies, public health, human development, and sociology.
Working alongside peers who share similar values, you'll examine and design community support networks for families and children. The program teaches strategies for helping families navigate modern complexities while providing knowledge about research-backed interventions, preventive approaches, and organizational policies.
Combining academic study with practical training, FHS students develop expertise in personal, group, and community-level support systems, professional standards, effective communication, and teamwork.
FHS students enter the program together as a cohort, following a structured curriculum path where all members complete identical coursework simultaneously.
These cohorts typically represent diverse backgrounds across race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, age, religious beliefs, relationship situations, abilities, military service, and sexual identity.
