Family Life
The intent of the major is to prepare men and women for a life of service in the church and
in the world, within the specialized area of Family Life. The Family Life major is an applied
field of study, with a conceptual inter-disciplinary foundation in psychology, sociology, law,
economics, and theology. As the most basic social institution, strong, healthy families who
are committed to Christ and a life of service represent one of the most positive influences,
which will impact our world. The Family Life graduate will leave Concordia with the academic
and practical training necessary to develop and implement programming to build
and equip healthy families. The National Council on Family Relations has certified the
Family Life major, and graduates are thus eligible to be Certified Family Life Educators and
or the Certified Hospital Child Life Specialist.
