Description
The Bachelor of Arts (CHFS) is a 120 credit program. The BA (CHFS) degree program is not offered fully online. Welcome to the Child and Family Studies (CHFS) program within the School of Human and Social Development at Nipissing University.
The Child and Family Studies Program is unique with a particular focus on two thematic areas of study:
1. Human Development and Learning; and
2. Child and Family Well-Being: Issues, Services, and Social Justice.
Students can pursue a General or Honours program of study. Further, you want a career within child and adult developmental and/or behaviour services, health/ mental health services, child welfare, education, justice, government, or even the private sector, and have a real appetite for social justice and making a significant difference.
