Bachelor in Family and Consumer Sciences

Family and consumer sciences (FCS) covers everything from what we buy and what we wear to how we help those most in need.

FCS studies relationships among people and their personal environments, focusing on the impact of physical, biological and social environments on human behavior and development.

FCS majors learn to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities by providing practical solutions to problems involving apparel, child rearing and family relations, and family and consumer economics.

Majoring in FCS prepares you for a career in teaching, business, industry, community agencies and government.
