Graduate Certificate in Family Studies
The Graduate Certificate in Family Studies in designed to train individuals who want to
work with families in a variety of contexts: as educators, community organizers, legal
professionals, child-care workers, or EAP counselors. Human Relations professionals,
business managers or supervisors, among many others, would also benefit from the
application of systemic family principles to their efforts. The curriculum includes
coursework on systemic thinking in family studies, topics in human and family systems
development, gender issues, sexuality issues, violence in the family, and diversity issues.
This program takes advantage of our school's unique access to a multidisciplinary faculty,
incorporating coursework in peace studies, violence prevention, consultation, school
systems, and business systems. Our multidisciplinary approach prepares students to apply
knowledge about family systems directly to their work environment and demands.
The Graduate Certificate Program in Family Studies is a 24 credit hour program (8
courses). Students who decide to continue their studies in Family Therapy may be able to
apply some of these credit hours toward the M.S., Ph.D., or D.M.F.T. in Family Therapy if
accepted into the program.
