What is Family and Consumer Science
Family and Consumer Science (FCS) is an integral part of The University of Tennessee Extension; linking the resources of the university with the citizens in each of the 95 counties in the state.
Family and Consumer Sciences faculty from the University of Tennessee work with County Extension Agents to address important issues facing Tennesseans as they cope with social, economic and technological changes that threaten the health, safety and well-being of individuals, families and communities.
Today, as never before, the subject matter of Family and Consumer Sciences have moved to the forefront of community and legislative agendas. The general public, as well as, key leaders have recognized what we inside the field have long known; addressing these issues to develop strong families ultimately leads to strong communities. The long term impact is an economic one.
