Mission Statement

UM Family and Consumer Sciences Mission Statement (updated Jan. 2024)

The Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) major prepares students to make positive contributions to the well-being of individuals, families, and consumers, through professional careers in education, business and industry, community service, government, and science and technology.

We strive to prepare professionals to be responsible and informed citizens, and for an increasingly diverse society by providing a range of experiences and opportunities that support their knowledge and skills. Capstone courses provide experiential learning and networking opportunities.
