Counseling and Human Development is part of the College of Education and Human Sciences and is comprised of the Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) program and the nationally-accredited Counseling and Human Resource Development (CHRD) programs. Students within both programs study the individual, group and family throughout the lifespan and are prepared to enter helping professions.
History

To complete this merger, departments and programs of the former colleges were combined. The human development program of FCS became part of the Counseling and Human Resource Development Department (CHRD) to form Counseling and Human Development.
