The Family Social Science (FSoS) Department is a collaborative and supportive community devoted to research, theory, therapy, and education. Our mission is to enhance the well-being of diverse families in a changing world through research, teaching, and outreach. We do this by partnering and consulting with families, communities, and organizations to address psychological, cultural, social, and economic issues affecting families locally, nationally, and globally. Our socially relevant work is organized around four departmental themes: families and economic well-being, families and health, families and diversity, and relationships and development across the lifespan. The department offers both undergraduate and graduate (masters and Ph. D.) degrees and consists of three distinct program areas and an undergraduate program. These programs include FSoS, Couple and Family Therapy (CFT), and Parent Education. We also have depth work in Prevention Science and colleagues who focus on extension research and outreach efforts. Our programs individually—and collectively—make us the strong department we are, along with our shared values of Collaboration – Excellence – Diversity – Inclusive
...ness. Please visit our website at http://www.cehd.umn.edu/fsos/ for detailed information.
