Family, Youth and Community Sciences
Minor
The 15-credit minor in Family, Youth and Community Sciences (FYCS) introduces students to the core areas of family dynamics, youth development, and community engagement. It is especially valuable for students pursuing careers in human services, community development, and child and youth related fields. Through the program, students develop critical skills to support children, youth, families, and communities and are prepared to work in a wide range of settings, including educational institutions, allied health services, community programs, nonprofit organizations, social services, and beyond.
A minor will add an extra set of skills to your career ambitions, such as learning the fundamentals of family, youth and community sciences. By declaring a minor in FYCS, you can set yourself apart when applying to graduate schools or to a broader range of career prospects and industries. Whether you choose a minor to complement your major or to broaden your education, it adds meaningful value to your academic experience.
