Child / Family DevelopmentAdvantages of Majoring in Child or Family Development
One of the problems many college graduates face is a lack of on-the-job training. Because they are required to complete a community internship in the Child and Family Development programs, our majors have work experience built into their degree program. It is also possible, with careful use of elective credits, for students to leave the university not only with a degree in their major, but also with additional credentials, such as minors and certificates. Some of the occupational areas in which our graduates have found employment are:
Family services
Information and referral agencies
City and county social services
Children's services
Drug & alcohol programs
Crisis centerss
Marriage enrichment programs
Single parent programs
Childcare programs
Children's museums |
Adult/Elderly care
Outreach programs
Intervention programs
Educational settings
Parent education
Domestic violence shelters
Teen parent programs
Advocacy programs
Head Start programs
Children's public television |
Students who are considering a degree in either Child or Family Development should contact one of our faculty members to learn about the many options in these majors.
