The dual degree offers students an option to obtain two masters degrees while simultaneously enrolled in both the Hispanic Studies, MA and the Marriage and Family Therapy, MS .
Course work and training prepares students for professional practice, research, and administrative roles in teaching, as well as in agencies and organizations that provide services and support to children and families. Applicants must meet the admissions requirements of the Graduate School. Completion of an undergraduate degree in child development, birth through kindergarten, family studies, family and consumer sciences, the behavioral or social sciences or closely related area from an accredited institution is required for admission.
