Family and Consumer Sciences

This degree provides the pedagogy requirements for an Family and Consumer Science teaching certificate for most states. Standards for teacher certification vary by state, and students must meet the requirements of the state in which they want to be certified. Additional requirements may include courses in the teaching specialization, tests, or other requirements. Alternatively, graduates may choose to develop and conduct youth programming in an informal educational setting.

Nationwide, there is strong demand for FCS teachers. Many states are experiencing a serious shortage, with the most severe need in rural areas.

With the degree you will be able to:
  • Plan curriculum for teaching
  • Engage students in the learning process
  • Examine the relationship of diverse groups and the educational process
  • Analyze the historical and philosophical underpinnings of FCS education.
  • Apply research to practice
