Families & Communities
Have you questioned how the society we live in affects families in Canada?
When you study Families & Communities, you will explore these relationships while discovering how you can make a positive impact on global communities. Study theoretical perspectives used to understand family dynamics, explore the relationship between diversity and families in Canada or dive into researching family development. In this program, you will learn cultural competency, theory and organizational skills through a variety of dynamic courses, including Psychology of Eating, Law and Social Inequality and Human Adjustment.
During your Families & Communities experience, you will learn how race, ethnicity, religion and sexuality all influence the society we live in. Discover the opportunity to experience this in the real world though a Family Studies & Human Development practicum. In your practicum course, you will apply theories learned in class to a real-world setting and make lasting connections with leaders in the local community.
