Portions of the Departments of Child and Family Studies and Educational Psychology and Counseling have been reimagined. Our new department is Counseling, Human Development and Family Science (CHDFS)! 

• We are transitioning from a major in Child and Family Studies – Community Outreach track to a major in Human Development and Family Science (HDFS)
• We are transitioning from graduate degrees in Child and Family Studies to graduate degrees in Human Development and Family Science (HDFS)
• Instead of registering for CFS courses, students will register for HDFS courses. The courses and course numbers are the same. DARS will recognize both.
• We will honor academic plans and graduation timelines for all current students.
• Our faculty members are still here, and we’re happy to continue teaching and supporting our students.
• We still belong to CEHHS, and you retain the same academic advisor.

Our former Child and Family Studies Teacher Licensure programs have moved to the Department of Theory and Practice in Teacher Education. The courses associated with the early childhood education programs are now coded IEC (Integrated Early Childhood).
