Human Development is the study of the development of individuals and families throughout the life span, seeking to improve their well-being through the creation, use, and dissemination of knowledge. This major can prepare students for careers in child, adolescent, adult, aging and family care services; in business and community services for families; teaching at the preschool level; and in cooperative extension and state agencies. UNCG offers a BS in Human Development/Family Studies including concentrations in birth through kindergarten (which can include teacher licensure), early care and education, child and adolescent development, and family studies. For more information on the Human Development/Family Studies major contact Dr. Dan Perlman, in room 248 Stone Building or at d_perlma@uncg.edu.  Visit the program website at www/uncg.edu/hdf.
