Undergraduate Research Assistant Program
The Department has an active Undergraduate Research
Assistant Program, which enables students to learn from and work
with world-class scholars on family issues. Family Science undergraduates volunteer
to assist Department faculty with their ongoing research projects on such topics
as:
- Child care
- Fathering
- Work and family issues
- Family and community violence
- Homeless families
- Interracial marriages
- Family financial education
- AIDS education
- Adolescent depression
- Couple relationships
- Marital standards
in China
Undergraduate students who participate in Family Science research may also participate in the University's Undergraduate Research Assistant Program, which provides a transcript notation documenting their research experience. This notation particularly benefits those students who apply to graduate school. The
Department also participates in several other undergraduate research programs,
such as the Senior Summer Scholars Program and the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate
Achievement Program.
