General Statement: The purpose of the undergraduate program in the
Department of Family and Consumer Sciences is to provide both a liberal and
specialized education in which the interests and well-being of individuals,
family members, and consumers are significant. The program includes study of
nutrition, food, health, clothing, textiles, management of resources,
design, care and guidance of children, human growth and development
throughout the life span, interpersonal relationships, and family
relationships, with emphasis on breadth of knowledge and its application to
the solution of contemporary human problems.
The unifying focus is on an integrative approach to relationships among
individuals, families, and communities and the environments in which they
function. The program seeks to a) empower individuals, b) strengthen
families and c) enable communities.
Specifically the mission of the Department of Family and Consumer
Sciences is to:
-
Prepare individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages, and
ethnic groups, including those that may be educationally, economically, and
socially disadvantaged, as well as those that may be academically and
socially advantaged for
-
leadership roles in professional family and consumer sciences careers;
-
graduate and professional specialization;
-
an improved quality of personal and family life; and
-
leadership in improving the quality of life for families through education, prevention and development.
-
-
Discover new knowledge and extend this knowledge to an increasingly global community.
-
Provide service to the community through workshops, presentations, and involvement.
The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences is accredited by the Council
