09/20/2022 10:37:00 AMHussein Bakir said choosing his major in the University of Houston College of Education was one of the best decisions he ever made. 
“If you are like me, passionate about social sciences, social issues and liberal arts like history and philosophy, then HDFS is for you,” said Bakir, a junior who expects to graduate in fall 2023.
The degree program — called Human Development and Family Sciences — has given him the opportunity to study people and relationships in relevant ways. For example, he conducted a six-week case study using a varied scope of observation methods and created interventions to further develop a child’s motor skills.
