Welcome to the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences!

The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) is located in Moomaw Hall adjacent to the Kline Campus Center. Constructed in 1969 to honor Leland and Nina Kinzie Moomaw, the department has excellent facilities. A wide range of labs and classrooms are available for instructional use. These include a Food Science lab, a Clothing Construction/Textiles lab, and a Child Development lab. Also, available are classrooms for instructional use, as well as the Ruth Howe living room and the Roop dining room. The study of Family and Consumer Sciences empowers students to manage professional responsibilities while reaching family-oriented goals. Students are challenged with quality programs in education, nutrition and wellness, fashion merchandising, and interior design that will prepare them to meet the needs of the changing global society. Between 65-70 majors are now enrolled in Family and Consumer Sciences, with 12-20 students graduating each year We look forward to meeting and working with you in the future!
