The Family and Consumer Sciences Secondary Education (FCSSE) concentration of the Nutrition and Food Science program offers preparation for students to teach Family and Consumer Science (FCS) in grades 6-12. Licensure to teach FCS requires a bachelor’s degree from an institution approved for the training of teachers in FCS and its occupational areas. A minor in Secondary Education is also required. Students may select one of two occupational endorsements as a required part of the major and choose to have the second endorsement by taking six additional hours. Those who complete the program are qualified to teach in vocationally reimbursed FCS programs as well as non-reimbursed programs.
