The Center for Family Studies was established in July 1998. Initially established as part of the Department's Child Study Center, which  successfully operated on this campus from 1974 until 2001, the Center for Family Studies was established to address broader social issues and community needs. 

The purpose of the Center for Family Studies is to promote the well being of families and family members by:

  • Promoting family -centered services in the community.
  • Providing family and consumer education programs in the community.
  • Providing students with opportunities to learn directly from multiethnic families in the community.
  • Supporting research on child, family and consumer issues.
  • Providing pre-service and in-service training for professionals and para-professionals working with families.
