Learn to professionally help others • Become an advocate • Prepare for a career or graduate school
It’s been a gift to learn under professors who not only are deeply knowledgeable about this field but also truly care about me. This program has equipped me with confidence in my research, writing and public speaking skills. I’m prepared to compassionately respond to the hurting, charitably engage with those I disagree with, and boldly seek justice and mercy with humility in whatever the Lord calls me into.

Our program is grounded in experiential learning that helps you build and practice skills before you enter the field. You’ll complete a required 200-hour internship tailored to your interests. You’ll also participate in simulations, earn professional certifications through your coursework and hear directly from alumni currently working in the field.
In your yearlong senior capstone, you'll work in a group to research, design, and develop a family life education curriculum that addresses a real need in the helping professions, completing a literature review, qualitative interviews, and a full set of professional educational curriculum materials.
Travel abroad and see family and culture through new eyes. Through immersive experiences, you'll explore how relationships, faith, and community take shape outside your own context, all while earning six family and human services credit hours toward your degree in Northern Ireland.
