About
Are you thinking about pursuing a career in teaching? Would you want to teach life skills such as cooking, designing, and child development?
The family and consumer sciences (FACS) program at East Carolina University trains students to teach many different subject areas to middle and high school students. As a FACS major, you will gain experience in different areas such as human development, personal and family finance, housing and interior design, food science, nutrition/wellness, textiles/apparel, and consumer issues.
Students have opportunity to develop leadership skills essential to lead student organizations for middle and high school students. As there is a shortage of FACS educators throughout the state and nation, jobs in this career path are plentiful.
