Curriculum for FSHD majors

The curriculum for FSHD majors is designed to provide a strong foundation in theory, research, issues, and applications related to family/interpersonal processes and human development across the lifespan. Complementary coursework provides students with a grounding in social/behavioral and biological sciences, as well as basic skills in research, writing, and communication. Students also complete a focused sequence of coursework in a career-related area of specialization.

The Academic Program Requirements for the Bachelor of Science (BS) with a major in FSHD consist of:

• 40 units of general education coursework (not including coursework needed to demonstrate second language proficiency).
• 30 units of FSHD foundation courses focusing on lifespan human development, family relations and dynamics, and program planning/evaluation.
