About Us
Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Agents work with all ages and communities in their counties to educate and encourage healthy living. Our goal is to improve the well-being of the family through programs that educate, influence public policy, and help families put research-based knowledge to work in their lives.
The FCS Department and Program has been recognized nationally for numerous curriculums it has developed. The current faculty members have expertise in areas across the spectrum of family needs including nutrition, food safety, parenting, human development, aging, housing, community and volunteer leadership development, health, and family resource management.
