Suspension of the Family and Consumer Science Major
Admission to the Family and Consumer Science major will be temporarily suspended beginning Fall 2019 (through summer 2021). We will explore creative ways to reimagine and integrate this program with other Department of Educational Studies programs and possibly the other science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education programs on campus.
