The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, accredited by the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, offers five programs that prepare students for diverse professional roles. These five majors include family and consumer sciences, family and child development, fashion merchandising, interior design, nutrition and foods.

Family and Consumer Science majors have a choice of three different tracks: Consumer Science, Family and Consumer Sciences, and Family and Consumer Sciences with Vocational Home Economics Teacher Certification. Students choosing the Consumer Science track study family financial decisions and the role of the consumer in the economy. Students prepare for such careers as business consumer liaisons, consumer advocates, or government agency employees. In the Family and Consumer Sciences track, students take courses from all areas of Family and Consumer Sciences and select a minor. Graduates seek employment in business, the extension service, and community agencies. The teacher certification track, approved by the Texas Education Agency, certifies graduates to teach in the public schools. Secondary and/or Early Childhood Education endorsements are possible.

Family and Child Development majors work in family and child programs, and community agencies. Using an interdisciplinary approach, students focus on human development and relationships across the lifespan.

Fashion Merchandising prepares majors for careers in the merchandising and promotion of apparel, textiles, and other consumer products. Most students choose to complete a Business Administration minor.

A major in Interior Design prepares students for careers as residential and/or commercial designers. The program is accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER), the recognized accrediting agency for this discipline. Students learn to communicate their design concepts and to solve design problems.

Nutrition and Foods majors study the selection, preparation, and consumption of foods. They prepare for careers in medical nutrition therapy, food service administration, public health nutrition programs or private practice. The program is approved by the American Dietetic Association and fulfills didactic requirements for associate membership and Texas licensing. Graduates are qualified to apply for post-graduate dietetic internships.
