The School of Family Studies and Human Services is focused on the study of individuals and families from a multidisciplinary perspective. Programs emphasize developmental processes throughout the life cycle, interpersonal relationships, family financial planning, intervention for speech, language, and hearing problems, and educational programming for children and families.
Undergraduate programs include communication sciences and disorders, early childhood education, family and consumer economics, family life and community services, and life span human development, a dual degree program in family studies and human services and social work, and minors in family financial planning and communication sciences and disorders. In addition, students often combine degree programs in early childhood education and elementary education.
The school places great importance on laboratory and field experiences, along with classroom experiences. On-campus field experiences for undergraduate students are available in the Early Childhood Laboratory, Family Center, Galichia Center on Aging, the Hoeflin Stone House Child Care Center, and the Speech and Hearing Center.
For students pursuing early childhood education, the Early Childhood Laboratory and the Hoeflin Stone House Child Care Center provide on-campus observation and teaching. Both facilities are licensed by the state of Kansas and accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs.
Students in the family life and community services program complete a field experience in a public or private agency that serves individuals and/or families. Agency staff and school faculty guide students in the planning, direction, and evaluation of these supervised experiences. On-campus opportunities for gaining experience are available through the Family Center, the Galichia Center on Aging, and various organizations and offices that address student needs. Students in communication sciences and disorders obtain practical experience in the Speech and Hearing Center.
Communication sciences and disorders
The goal of the program in communication sciences and disorders is to educate professionals who are competent to help children and adults with communicative problems of speech, hearing, and language. The undergraduate program provides the foundation for the M.S. program in communication sciences and disorders, which is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation and meets the current requirements in speech-language pathology for the Certificate of Clinical Competence of the American Speech- Language and Hearing Association and for certification by the State of Kansas Department of Education. Determination of the student's program of study and the completion of all requirements for certification are the responsibility of the student and the advisor.
Students participate in observations of a variety of disorders and age groups in the Kansas State University Speech and Hearing Center. Students may, on invitation of the faculty, participate in supervised direct clinical experience in the Speech and Hearing Center.
