Family Studies focuses on marriage and family education, family intervention services, and family policies. The goal of Family Studies is to improve all types of families by applying scientific methods to questions about intimacy, relationships, parenting, dating, marriage development, sexuality, and diverse family forms. Students can minor in family studies by declaring the minor through their academic advisor. The minor attracts students from many majors across campus, including religion, literature, psychology, sociology, history, communication, business and early childhood education.
