Department of Family and Consumer Sciences

Welcome to Family and Consumer Sciences

The faculty, staff, and students welcome you! We are a department of many interrelated programs such as Family and Child Development, Fashion Merchandising, Family and Consumer Science, Interior Design, and Nutrition and Foods. The department offers two graduate programs – Human Nutrition (with Functional Foods and Nutritional Sciences Tracks) and Family and Child Studies (with a Child Life Specialist track). We also have a Child Development Center that serves faculty, staff, students and the San Marcos community.  Together, our mission is to enhance the quality of individual and family life through teaching, research, creative activity and service. Our programs prepare students for professions in the public and private sectors, and for engagement in local and global communities. We invite you to explore our site and if you have any questions, let us know.
