Beginning August 1, 2024, the Department of Child and Family Studies will become the Department of Counseling, Human Development, and Family Science (CHDFS).
- The current undergraduate and graduate programs and courses will either be moved to an existing department (TPTE – IEC Interdisciplinary Early Childhood) or the newly-formed Counseling, Human Development, and Family Science (CHDFS) department.
- In preparation for these program changes, all CFS-prefix classes will be discontinued, beginning in Fall 2024.
- However, current students’ academic plans and degree plans WILL be honored, and the actual content of our courses will remain the same.
- For Fall 2024, students should register for courses with either the HDFS-prefix or the IEC-prefix.
- Here are two tables that give more details about the course prefix changes.
