Child Development and Family Relations Minor

IUP students who major or minor in CDFR must earn a “C” grade or better in CDFR 218  and CDFR 224  and maintain a 2.0 GPA in major courses to graduate from the CDFR program.

The CDFR minor, consisting of 18 credits, is for students who desire to work in programs that entail all aspects of child development and family relationships and administration in human service agencies at federal, state, and local levels but who have their major course work in a related field. The CDFR minor is appropriate for all majors who wish to pursue careers working with children and families. The minor includes two required courses and any combination of four additional courses, including at least one 400-level course, with a CDFR prefix from the list provided.
