Department of Family & Consumer Sciences

ANNOUNCEMENT

BODYWORKS appointments should be set up through Bodyworksbu@hotmail.com

 

The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences traces its roots to the founding of Bradley University, when Nellie Kedzie designed a home economics curriculum that blended theoretical teaching with hands-on learning.

Today, that educational philosophy still underpins the department, which was renamed to focus on the family as a consuming unit while preparing graduates to meet new and emerging challenges in the field.

Career opportunities continue to expand in this field, and Bradley’s FCS department has a 100-percent job-placement rate.  You’ll choose from careers in teaching, family-and-consumer-sciences-related business, social services, nutrition and dietetics, fashion design, interior design, and others.
