The Associate in Science in Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) integrates practical and academic experiences to provide you with entry-level, professional competencies in the human service fields. The course work can help you gain a foundational understanding of life span and family development, and a core of professional skills that you can apply in program planning and service delivery. Many graduates go on to earn a bachelor's degree; some eventually enroll in graduate school. No matter what hours you work in your present job, the online HDFS program can help you get a degree without ever setting foot on campus.
