Welcome to the Family & Consumer Sciences website.
Family and Consumer Sciences views the family, in all its diverse forms, as the cornerstone of a healthy society. Our mission is to improve the well-being of the family through programs that educate, influence public policy, and help families put research-based knowledge to work in their lives.
Faculty members within Family and Consumer Sciences hold appointments with the NC Cooperative Extension Service and work across the spectrum of family needs. These include nutrition, food safety, parenting, human development, aging, housing, community & volunteer development, health, and family resource management.
