Careers
Watch to learn how the HDFS program differs from sociology and psychology programs.
Few careers offer as many opportunities to directly and profoundly impact lives. With an HDFS degree, you’ll be ready for professional work or graduate study in fields such as education, nursing, social work or other helping professions. The degree is a perfect complement to a minor or a second major in business, education, psychology, sociology, public health and a wide variety of allied health professions.
