Program Description Are you interested in helping youth learn how to make healthy lifestyle choices? This major prepares students to teach family and consumer sciences curriculum at the middle or high school level. Family and consumer sciences teachers are in high demand across the country. Most of the recent graduates in this major have secured teaching positions in the State of Michigan before graduating or immediately upon graduation. The FCS teacher shortage is expected to grow in the coming years. Many teachers within this teaching area advise Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) such as FCCLA. Graduates without a vocational endorsement typically teach woodshop/drafting in a traditional middle or high school setting.
