The graduate curriculum in Family and Consumer Sciences leads to a Master of Science degree in Family and Consumer Sciences. There are two masters programs, each requiring 36 semesters hours including thesis. The first plan leads to state licensure at the graduate level. Persons not pursuing state licensure should follow the second plan and should concentrate in one of three areas: Textile and Apparel, Foods and Nutrition, or Human Development and Family Studies. All graduate majors are expected to hold membership in the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) and present a seminar on their thesis research.

Individuals seeking a Master of Science degree in Family and Consumer Sciences and who hold a master’s degree in a related field of study, may complete 18 credit hours and an internship in one of the specialty areas (FCSG 5830 ). Courses in the Dietetic Internship Program are applied as graduate credits.

Students who do not successfully pass the writing assessment must complete a course in advanced composition.
