A degree in Child and Family Studies equips students with an understanding of human nature, family dynamics and how to navigate life’s inevitable challenges. For Maria Marzuco, her life and degree coincided in a way she never expected.
The Department of Child and Family Studies prepares students for an enormous variety of careers in social services, mental health services, government, education, non-profits and healthcare. The interpersonal skills and professional applications give our students the ability to work with people, wherever it takes them. A child and family studies degree is a great foundation for graduate programs in law, therapy and counseling.
“I want to do as much as I can to promote and advocate for our friends with down syndrome, in memory of Andrew. What I do, I do for him. I love all people like him.
