The Family and Consumer Sciences Education Program is accredited by the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS), National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), Indiana Department of Education Office of Educator Licensing and Development (OELD) and the North Central Association for Schools and Colleges (NCA). Completion of this major qualifies students for licensure to teach family and consumer sciences at the middle, junior high, and high school levels. In addition, students are qualified to teach and coordinate programs that prepare high school students to enter the workforce in family and consumer sciences-related occupations. Graduates may also seek employment in such non-school settings as the Cooperative Extension Service, community and family service agencies, government agencies, and wellness programs.
