Family and Human Development Track

Students actively pay attention to the lecture their professor prepared for the day

Fall of 2022, the School of Humanities and Social Science and Salt Lake Community College launched its new Family and Human Development (FHD) Associate of Science track. The FHD track is ideal for students looking for a fulfilling career that will allow them the flexibility to complete the course in person or entirely online. Career options for those with a degree in Family & Human Development include family life education, social services, case management, policy analysis, lobbying, advocacy, community outreach, etc.

What sets the Family and Human Development track apart from the Early Childhood track is that FHD students are not required to complete lab experiences. However, should students be interested in gaining experience from the lab, they are welcome to do so as part of an elective. If students choose to take a full-time course load, they could complete the degree within two years. It is encouraged for students to speak to an advisor to learn more about this.

The FHD degree is transferable to any institution within the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) and has course-to-course articulation agreements with other USHE institutions. This provides students the confidence that once they complete their degree at SLCC, their classes will be accepted at their next institution.

For students interested in the FHD track or wish to learn more about the program, contact Brandi Benson at (801) 957-5034 or email at brandi.benson@slcc.edu.
