Students minoring in Human Development and Family Sciences will learn how people change across the life course within the contexts of families, schools, work and society. This minor is a perfect complement to majors such as business, education, psychology, sociology, public health and a wide variety of allied health professions, and women, gender, and sexuality studies.

A minor in HDFS will enable students to:

• Explore how individuals develop and become resilient over time – particularly within the context of family, school, work and society.
• Discover how significant relationships with parents, partners, teachers and friends can influence the ways in which we develop over time.
• Consider how difficult circumstances, such as poverty, make lives and relationships more difficult to navigate.
• Appreciate the diverse ways in which individuals and families thrive and survive.
