The Family Studies and Human Services program at Kansas State University focuses on the development of the individual in a family context. The program also emphasizes development of individuals across the lifespan. Courses allow students to examine issues such as:

• Processes underlying human development across the life cycle.
• Factors that enhance, support and/or impede the development of healthy interpersonal relationships, especially those within the family.
• The interactions among the individual, the family and the larger culture/society.
• Identifying and applying best practices when working directly with individuals and families, with particular attention to ethical guidelines and principles of the human services field.
