Students majoring in Family Studies examine individual development within families; factors affecting family members and the family unit; and the interaction among family members, families and the social, political, economic and physical environments.

A Child Studies Concentration, with areas of specialization in infant development, special needs, and child centre management, is offered within the Family Studies major. Graduates from the Child Studies Concentration are eligible for ECE III classification upon application to the Manitoba Day Care office.
