HDFS courses prepare you for future work with members of families, helping them through systems and enhancing their relationships through experiential learning in the community while providing a foundation of knowledge for your career. The Individual and Family Services concentration is for those students who want to learn about and work with adolescents, adults or in all-age fields/settings along with their families. Students who successfully complete the program qualify for an abbreviated application process to obtain a CFLE (Certified Family Life Educator) certification after graduation.
