 Welcome Students and Parents!

		Department Philosophy and core beliefs: Family and Consumer Sciences is an educational discipline based on the family and on the relationship between work and the family. The mission of the family and consumer sciences education program is to empower people to effectively manage emerging life issues by applying skills, analyzing options, and strengthening interpersonal competencies through an interrelated curriculum. Participation in the program enables students to develop skills to manage their own personal, family and career lives, and develop insights into the interactions within families and the relationship of work and family. Family and consumer sciences education applies academic learning to hands-on application and should be an integral part of the education to adulthood.
