The Master of Science (non-thesis): Family Life and Parent Education Program
The M.S. (non-thesis) Program in Family Life and Parent Education (FLPE) is offered jointly between the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Department of 4-H Youth Development and Family and Consumer Sciences at North Carolina State University. This 34-hour program is designed for consumers of research whose jobs, upon graduation, would require the translation and application of research findings as a part of their work in agency and extension settings. This program emphasizes course work and practicum experience in the areas of family education and parent education. In contrast, the thesis option program prepares graduates for research positions and for advanced research study at the doctoral level.
Prospective students apply for the FLPE program at either UNCG or NCSU. Applications are reviewed by both universities. Applicants are admitted to the joint program and are assigned either UNCG or NCSU as their home university. Students should expect to take classes at both universities. Some of these classes will be in an online format.
