The graduate curriculum in Family and Consumer Sciences leads to a Master of Science degree in Family and Consumer requiring 36 semesters hours including thesis. 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 a minimum of 18 credit hours and an internship in one of the specialty areas (FCSG 5830 ). The comprehensive exam is also required. 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.
