Students who choose family studies and human services will have the option to select an area of concentration or complete an internship. The internship option includes a series of courses taken in the senior year that applies course content to the reality of working with people. The first course in the series is a one-credit class focusing on building a professional identity through in-class activities, personal reflection and volunteering within the community.

During the next and final semester, these students serve a 320-hour internship. Students have regular contact with both a campus and a site supervisor. The internship is taken simultaneously with a capstone course in which students integrate the knowledge they have built throughout their undergraduate course work with their current internship experiences.

Students who choose the non-internship option are expected to identify an area of concentration
in which they will take at least 9 credit hours. Examples of concentration include psychology, sociology, gerontology, social work, or women’s studies. This provides the necessary training and information to work with a particular topic or population after graduation.
