Melissa Danzuka
Internship: Deschutes County Behavioral Health, Warm Springs
Earn a bachelor of science degree in human development and family sciences. The HDFS program examines human development within the context of families, schools, work, communities and other social-cultural environments. Recognizing the diversity and challenges of contemporary life, our faculty and students study how environments can enhance — or limit — individual and family development from early childhood through the end of life.
The human development and family sciences program offers three options: early childhood, general, and human services. The program also offers a minor in early childhood development and education, and a minor in human development and family sciences.
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, HDFS, social work or public administration.
