In summer 2020, each of the department chairs for the separate Departments of Psychology and Sociology and Family Studies were promoted to other administrative positions that required them to resign from their role as department chair. This afforded the opportunity to merge two relatively small departments with unique synergies. The department faculties have met separately, together, and with College of Arts and Sciences administration to discuss this decision and there is consensus to work together toward a successful transition. The new department name has been approved by the faculty in both areas and they have agreed upon the use of co-chairs for one year as they work through issues related to the merger.

The functionality of courses and programs in Banner will remain under the respective Psychology and Sociology department labels.

This request is to create:
