| Summary of
Programs in the Department:
Child Development
Our three Child Development degree paths prepare students to work in
early care and education settings, to enter Multiple Subject credential programs
needed for teaching in elementary schools, to pursue careers serving child and
families in community agencies, and to enter graduate school in areas of social
welfare, counseling, college teaching, family health, and others.
Family Science
The Family Science program prepares students to work with families across the
lifespan. Students completing the program earn provisional certification as
Family Life Educators. We also prepare students to pursue graduate education in
counseling, social work, and a variety of other fields, or work with families in
community-based and public agencies.
Fashion Merchandising
Our Fashion Merchandising program prepares students for careers in the dynamic
fashion industry. It focuses on post-production facets of the fashion industry,
described by Stone (2007) as having “the right fashion-oriented merchandise at
the right time, in the right place, in the right quantities, at the right
prices, and with the right sales promotion for a specified target customer.”
