| Sumario: | Part of a special issue on recent developments and future directions in helping contemporary families. The writers discuss issues associated with graduate education in family science, particularly at the doctoral level. Using Boyer's four types of scholarship—discovery, integration, application, and teaching—as a framework, they examine the competencies that family scientists should possess and the experiences required to help students obtain such competencies. In addition, they propose ideas for a core curriculum for family science doctoral study, describe controversies and unresolved issues, and consider the training of family scientists for the future.
