Thank you for your interest in a minor in child and family studies. The minor requires 18 credit hours and courses that are required for the minor vary by catalog year. The catalog year for the CFS minor and the student’s respective major must be the same year.
Below are the minor requirements for catalog years 2012 to the current academic year. To determine which CFS minor sequence to follow, first determine the catalog year for your major, then select the corresponding catalog year below and follow the requirements listed. Contact the EHHS Student Services office in Bailey Education Complex room 332 (phone 865-974-8194) if you have questions about substitutions.
