在这里学什么？

The field of human development and family science is dedicated to enhancing the relationships among individuals, families, communities and the environments in which they function. The educational and professional field of human development and family science take leadership in improving individual, family, and community well-being; impacting the development, delivery, and evaluation of consumer goods and services; influencing the creation of policy; and shaping societal change, thereby enhancing the human condition.

Students in Human Development and Family Science take foundation courses in content areas based upon the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) and the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) standards. In addition, students take restricted supporting courses in the program.

There are two options available within the major:

• Human Development and Family Science Education (teaching option)
• Human Development and Family Science

There are also three minors available that are related to the major:

• Human Development
• Personal and Consumer Finance
• Teaching (Family and Consumer Sciences Education)

Family and Consumer Sciences Education Option

The family and consumer sciences education (FCS Ed) option prepares effective educators who empower individuals and families to manage challenges of living and working in a diverse, global society. Since education is a people-centered profession, the program focuses on characteristics of various learners, learning principles, and different applications of the teaching-learning process.

The FCS Ed program is a versatile major due to the preparation of the student as both an educator and a family and consumer scientist. Teachers in this area are in high demand across the state and the nation because they are qualified to teach many different subject areas, including nutrition and foods, interior design, child and human development, financial literacy, clothing and textiles, and more. MSU's family and consumer science education students have nearly a **** pass rate on the Praxis exam (required of all teachers) and **** job placement after they graduate.

This program is a good fit for individuals who want to make a positive difference, have strong communication and leadership skills, and work well with other people, especially adolescents.

Career Opportunities. A wide variety of career opportunities in the field are possible. Graduates are employed in both traditional and nontraditional teaching settings primarily including:

Family & Consumer Sciences Classroom Teacher (grades 5-12 licensed in Montana)

Youth Services Specialist

Extension Educator

Human Development and Family Science Option

The human development and family science option is an interdisciplinary program that prepares students for careers working with individuals and families. The program focuses on the social-emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, cultural, and societal aspects of human development across the lifespan (infancy, middle childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and late adulthood). Individuals develop in family contexts, and this program integrates the in-depth study of the family as a dynamic social unit. The program focuses on family behavior, strengths, and challenges using family-specific theoretical frameworks (family systems, family crisis) and research methods. Social, cultural, historical, political, and economic trends that influence family functioning and well-being are addressed. Students study a wide range of family issues including relational dynamics, parenting, human response to stress and crisis, family policies and laws, family finance and economics, work and family issues, and human services delivery and decision-making.
