The Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology, with a concentration in family science, offers a strong foundation in family theory and practice through the study of interpersonal communication, conflict management, human development and the formation and maintenance of relationships. Through this course of study, you’ll learn all the skills you need to help families in variety of circumstances and settings.
The family science degree curriculum is approved by the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR), meaning that graduates are eligible for professional certification as Certified Family Life Educators (CFLE) without having to take the CFLE exam or complete extra coursework. This professional credential is recognized throughout the U.S. and Canada and provides an advantage when seeking jobs in family life education and related fields.
Flexible Learning with Online and Hybrid Study
All courses in the family science degree program are also offered online, which allows students optimal flexibility in completing the requirements for the degree. Instead of the traditional 15-week courses held on campus, online courses are offered in 7-week sessions during the fall and spring semesters and a 6-week session in the summer.
