Advisement

Upon acceptance into the minor, we recommend that students meet with an advisor, contact 702-895-1392 or kristi.sessions@unlv.edu. Students should meet with their advisor prior to each semester they are taking classes. The department has developed a schedule of when classes will be offered. Meeting with an advisor will ensure the student stays on track and can graduate in a timely manner.

The Family Studies minor provides students with basic theory in family studies and family therapy with particular attention to family systems theory, interpersonal dynamics, multi- cultural issues, human sexuality, and couples and family therapy.
