Our programs of study are designed for ultimate flexibility, so that students can specialize in an area of their choosing. Students work closely with their advisors to devise a plan of study that will meet the student's needs for their future academic career plans. Examples of areas of study include early childhood education, early childhood intervention, child development, adolescents at risk, family science, families at risk, human development, and couple and family therapy (Ph.D. only).
