Family and Consumer Sciences Education Certificate

Again, most of the courses are offered in the summer (12 credits summer; 3 credits fall; 3 credits spring). We plan to offer the courses more regularly as student enrollment increases in both the MS degree and the proposed FCS certificate program (the courses will serve both options).

HDFS 545 Contemporary Family Issues (3 Credits)

• Offered Even Spring Semesters

EDM 412 FCS Methods (3 Credits)

• Next Offering: Summer 2022

HDFS 550: Critical Science and FCS Curriculum Development (3 Credits)

• Next Offering: Summer 2024
• We are concurrently proposing a graduate level class to meet the rule of only 1/3 of courses being 400 level in graduate certificate. We traditionally offer HDFS 450 in the summer but will instead offer HDFS 550 (if approved). Thus, this does not increase courses or change workload (not changing resource needs). We have elevated the expectations and revised the course to be a graduate level offering.
