The Florida State University in 1950 had a rich history of interdisciplinary scholarship and university education. Many trace the origin of modern family sociology to the Interdivisional Ph.D. Program, for example. Students are admitted into the Program through one of the cooperating divisions by a vote of the Program faculty, who are also members of the faculties of those divisions.
Students graduate with a Ph.D. in marriage and family through their sponsoring division.
Graduates will join other academic departments as members of the faculty or other institutions devoted to understanding and helping families and other systems.
