The Child and Family Studies major can be taken on-line through the REACH services at UTPB. Many but not all of the 42 credits of General Education requirements may be available on-line. The General Education course requirements may be fulfilled through community colleges, or through on-line courses offered at UTPB or other accredited colleges. Several minors are available totally on-line at UTPB that are appropriate for the Child and Family Studies major. CHLD students cannot minor in psychology or sociology, but currently they can complete on-line minors in Communications, Criminal Justice, History and Management. Other on-line minors may be developed during the years covered by this catalog. CHLD majors taking on-line courses will take the Learning and Development track. The degree plan for on-line students is as follows:
