2. Consistently and realistically analyze and evaluate one’s own knowledge, abilities and actions in comparison to professional standards and create action plans to enhance personal and professional efficacy related to working with children, adults, families and communities.

3. Understand content related to working with children, adults, families, and communities within chosen program. Use critical thinking skills to evaluate and utilize evidence-based practices. Use logical and ethical reasoning to make decisions and solve problems.

4. Understand the diverse needs of children, adults, and families. Ensure equitable access of children, adults, and families to appropriate environments that support healthy living. Engage children, adults, and families with socially responsible and respectful behavior.

Communication Proficiency requirement: A student must achieve a grade of C or higher in ENGL 150, Critical Thinking and Communication, and ENGL 250, Written, Oral, Visual, and Electronic Composition. A student achieving a grade of C– or lower in 150 and/or 250 must either repeat the course(s), earning a minimum grade of C, or, in consultation with the adviser and the coordinator of freshman English, complete another appropriate English writing course with a minimum grade of C.

The Child, Adult and Family Services curriculum leads to work in helping professions with employment opportunities in public and private agencies. Graduates of the program are prepared for employment in agencies and organizations serving children, youth, families, and adults as program development specialists, coordinators, directors, teachers, direct care staff, and administrators, through opportunities to work directly in settings of interest to the student. This flexible program provides a broad emphasis in theory, research, and application in child, adult and family services including attention to community issues and public policy.

Students in Child, Adult and Family Services may choose coursework that leads to becoming a Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE), a program that has been approved by the National Council on Family Relations. These courses provide the basic education for students interested in working with families, including adolescents, parents, or adults working to strengthen relationships. The student takes courses that support the development of knowledge and skills in family life content areas selected by the National Council on Family Relations. The certification is a voluntary credential that requires the individual to complete a degree in an approved program and to have at least two years of work experience in family life education settings. See http://www.hdfs.hs.iastate.edu/undergraduate-majors/cfle/ and/or http://www.ncfr.org/cfle-certification .

The curriculum in Early Childhood Education – Unified prepares graduates to teach young children and work with their families. This program leads to careers working with young children (both those who are typically developing and those with special needs) from birth through age eight. Graduates may be employed by either public or private agencies or schools to teach in early childhood classrooms (preschool through 3^rd grade) or in home-based programs. This curriculum has been approved by the Iowa Department of Education and meets requirements for the early childhood education – unified teacher license, which permits individuals to teach general and special education for children from birth through age eight. The program is an interdepartmental major administered by the Department of Human Development and Family Studies and the School of Education.

Early childhood education majors must satisfy a world languages and cultures requirement for graduation (see below for more information on the world languages and cultures requirement).

Students who enroll in the early childhood education – unified program must apply to and be accepted into the teacher education program prior to enrolling in advanced courses. All early childhood education – unified students must meet general education requirements for teacher licensure. Iowa State University is in compliance with the Iowa Department of Education’s mandate for a performance based system of teacher training. The State of Iowa has developed and implemented a competency system to evaluate the performance of all teachers. A detailed list of the Iowa State University Teacher Education Standards and the State of Iowa Teaching Standards, along with other information about the University Educator Preparation Program, can be found at www.education.iastate.edu/te . Additional information is also available from the student’s academic adviser.

Students in early childhood education – unified must meet the performance outcome standards for teacher licensure. Standards are assessed in coursework through artifacts such as assignments, projects, or practicum participation. These standards assessments are based on the early childhood content standards for endorsement 100 in the State of Iowa. These include competencies in (1) child growth, development, and learning, (2) developmentally appropriate learning environment and curriculum implementation, (3) health, safety, and nutrition, (4) family and community collaboration, and (5) professionalism.

Pre-student teaching field experiences and student teaching experience in at least two different settings are required.

Family and Consumer Sciences Education and Studies offers a curriculum for the Bachelor of Science degree. (http://catalog.iastate.edu/collegeofhumansciences/familyandconsumerscienceseducationandstudies )

Graduates in Family and Consumer Sciences Education and Studies have a broad understanding of individual and family well-being. Graduates apply knowledge and research in family and consumer sciences content in global professional settings. They work in an integrative fashion to improve well-being by addressing and acting on complex problems confronting individuals, families, and communities. The study of Family and Consumer Sciences Education incorporates the following 16 content areas (http://www.nasafacs.org/national-standards-and-competencies.html ): Career, Community and Family Connections; Consumer and Family Resources; Consumer Services; Education and Early Childhood; Facilities Management and Maintenance; Family; Family and Community Services; Food Production and Services; Food Science, Dietetics, and Nutrition; Hospitality, Tourism and Recreation; Housing and Interior Design; Human Development; Interpersonal Relationship; Nutrition and Wellness; Parenting; and Textiles, Fashion and Apparel.

Students in the program choose one of three options, Teacher Licensure, Communications, or Professional Studies.

Students in Family and Consumer Sciences Education and Studies may choose coursework that leads to becoming a Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE), a program that has been approved by the National Council on Family Relations. These courses provide the basic education for students interested in working with families, including adolescents, parents, or adults working to strengthen relationships. The student takes courses that support the development of knowledge and skills in family life content areas selected by the National Council on Family Relations. The certification is a voluntary credential that requires the individual to complete a degree in an approved program and to have at least two years of work experience in family life education settings. See http://www.hdfs.hs.iastate.edu/undergraduate-majors/cfle/ and/or http://www.ncfr.org/cfle-certification.

Graduates may also choose from one of several nationally recognized professional certifications available from the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) Council for Certification. This program measures competencies of FCS professionals using high-quality, rigorous assessments. Certifications that are currently available are (http://www.aafcs.org/CredentialingCenter/Certification.asp ): CFCS: Certified in Family and Consumer Sciences; CFCS-HDFS: Certified in Human Development and Family Studies; CFCS-HNFS: Certified in Hospitality, Nutrition, and Food Science; and CPFFE: Certified Personal and Family Finance Educator.

Opportunities are available for obtaining a minor from other programs through careful selection of elective credits and consultation with an adviser. For example, students pursuing the Communications and Professional Studies options are encouraged to consider obtaining a minor in journalism and mass communications or in one of the content areas of family and consumer sciences such as financial counseling and planning. They also are encouraged to enhance their program by selecting relevant additional courses in their area of interest. Students in the Teacher Licensure option may choose to add an additional endorsement such as Health Education, Middle School, ESL, Multi-Occupations, or Coaching Interscholastic Athletics.

There is also an opportunity to obtain a family and consumer sciences endorsement or teacher licensure as a post baccalaureate student.

The Financial Counseling and Planning curriculum prepares students for careers in family financial services, offering three Emphases: Financial Planning, Financial Counseling or Family Financial Studies. Financial Counseling and Planning is a growing career field and appeals to students who want to work with individuals and families to help them meet their financial goals and improve their financial capability to better meet financial challenges. Coursework provides students with the family resource management and interpersonal skills needed to help families remain financially secure. Based on individual specific career goals students may select a path that leads to fulfilling the education requirements for the leading designations and certifications in financial counseling and planning. Graduates of the program are prepared for employment in personal banking, financial services, insurance, financial counseling and planning, and human service organizations. Laboratory and practicum opportunities exist in the Iowa State University Financial Counseling Clinic. An internship encourages students to apply their studies and to experience the profession in real-world settings.

Financial Counseling and Planning majors are also prepared to enter graduate programs in family financial planning, financial education, economics, finance, and law.

Juniors and seniors in Financial Counseling and Planning who are interested in graduate study may apply for concurrent enrollment in the Graduate College to simultaneously pursue both a B.S. in Financial Counseling and Planning and a M.S. in Human Development and Family Studies or a B.S. in Financial Counseling and Planning and a Graduate Certificate in Family Financial Planning. Under concurrent enrollment, students simultaneously take undergraduate and graduate courses and may be eligible for assistantships. See Graduate Study for more information (http://www.hdfs.hs.iastate.edu/graduate/ ).

Graduate Study

The department offers work for the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis option) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with the major in Human Development and Family Studies. Minor work for students taking major work in other departments is also available. Graduates of M.S. and Ph.D. programs in the department will understand and apply relevant theories to educational, research, and/or intervention or prevention programs. It is intended that they will produce and disseminate research results and provide leadership in human development and family studies professions.

Graduate study in Human Development and Family Studies at Iowa State University is multidisciplinary and focuses on research and practice in several content areas such as adolescent/youth development, adult development and aging, family studies and policy, family economic well-being and financial planning, infant and child development, health and well-being, and lifespan development. In addition, the Department of Human Development and Family Studies offers coursework and experiences leading to the National Council of Family Relations certification as a family life educator.

Prerequisite to work in the major is the completion of a related undergraduate program with basic courses and/or experiences in areas such as child/human development, community and regional planning, economics, education, family studies, psychology, or sociology. Additional coursework or prerequisites (e.g. basic statistics) may be required depending on the undergraduate program and program of study. Students may be admitted to our doctoral program with either a bachelor's (MS/PhD Track, 5 years) or a master's degree (PhD Track only, 3 years). Students admitted to the PhD Track without a prior master's degree complete requirements for a thesis-based master's degree as part of their doctoral program of study.

All students take a core set of courses; the program of study is then completed with a selection of courses that meet the individual needs of the student. The variety of and flexibility in the coursework allows a student to tailor a program to specific academic interests. The graduate programs are based on a theory, research, and application interactive paradigm with all three areas integrated into our content and method courses.

The department offers a graduate minor in Human Development and Family Studies. To earn this minor, students in a Master’s program must take 9 credits in HD FS graduate courses (500, 600 level) with a limit of 3 credits in seminar or workshop credit: (credits in 591 or 691 not allowed). To earn a minor in HD FS students in a Doctoral program must take 12 credits in HD FS graduate courses (500, 600 level) with a limit of 3 credits in seminar or workshop credit: (credits in 591 or 691 not allowed).

The department offers four Graduate Certificates available to HD FS majors as well as students in other departments and professionals in the field. The certificates emphasize application and relevance to growing diversity and demands on the work force and include Developmental and Family Sciences Advanced Research Design and Methods (15 credits); Family Well-Being in Diverse Society (12 credits); Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (12 credits, online); and Life-span Development (12 credits, online).

The department also participates in several Master of Family and Consumer Sciences degree programs (http://catalog.iastate.edu/collegeofhumansciences/familyandconsumersciences/ ). Admission to the youth (YTH), family financial planning (FFP) and gerontology (GERON) specialization programs require submission of the Graduate College application form, transcripts, 2 letters of recommendation, resume and a goal statement.

First, students selecting this option may choose Human Development and Family Studies as the focus of their studies.

Second, a 36-credit Master of Family and Consumer Sciences-Youth Development (MFCS-YD)-or a 13-credit Youth Development Specialist Certificate or a 13-credit Youth Program Management and Evaluation Certificate- are designed to prepare individuals who work directly with youth or are involved in education and research related to youth. The courses for this program are completely online.

Third, a 36-credit Master of Family and Consumer Sciences-Family Financial Planning Program (MFCS-FFP), along with the 18-credit Graduate Certificate Program, is designed to prepare individuals to work in the financial planning field. The courses for the program are completely online. Completion of course work in the Master degree and Graduate Certificate meets the educational requirements to sit for the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Board of Standards Certification Examination.

The department offers a Financial Counseling and Planning (FCP) concurrent degree program that allows students to obtain a B.S. in FCP and an M.S. in HD FS or a B.S. in FCP and a Graduate Certificate in Family Financial Planning in 5 years. Application for admission to the Graduate College should be made near the end of the junior year. Under concurrent enrollment, students simultaneously take undergraduate and graduate courses and may be eligible for assistantships. Students interested in these programs should contact the department for details.

Finally, the department collaborates with the interdepartmental Gerontology program; students may declare a minor in Gerontology. The Master of Family and Consumer Sciences - Gerontology program (MFCS-GERON) and the Graduate Gerontology Certificate program are designed to prepare professionals who work directly with older people or are involved in education and research related to older adults. Professionals offering direct services often are involved in health promotion programs, directing inter-generational activities, managing senior centers or retirement communities, counseling older people and their families, and helping people plan for retirement. Professionals involved in education and research may evaluate community-based services, teach others about the aging process, develop policies and programs to serve the needs of older adults, and work with business and industry on issues related to an aging work force.
