Family Studies (Master of Science Degree)
Graduate Advisor: Donice Kelly
The Master of Science Degree in Family Studies is designed to prepare
individuals to fulfill personal and professional service roles in community agencies
and services, the church, and in the field of education. It also provides background
courses for further graduate study relating to the family in its various forms and
functions. This curriculum is offered for students who desire an in-depth study of
marriage and the family, but who do not desire AAMFT certification. The curriculum
is designed to provide a variety of learning experiences which will enable the student to
deal effectively with family groups, children, adolescents, parents, and community
organizations in an environment of social change.

A baccalaureate degree is required for admission to this program, but no single
type of undergraduate major is prerequisite. However, students with fewer than 15
hours of undergraduate credit in the behavioral sciences, family studies, or related

demonstrate proficiency in background by means of examination or other
evaluations. Screening devices will consist of GRE scores, transcripts, committee
interviews, and psychological tests.
