Prospective Students
The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences offers six different majors, but the common characteristics among all of our programs include a caring and knowledgeable faculty, outstanding academic and technological resources, and instruction on the latest trends from the industry. Additionally, our students have access to numerous professional opportunities through internships, field work, guest speakers, and our own professional connections.
Here are a few great reasons to attend Baylor for a major in Fashion Design, Fashion Merchandising, Nutrition Sciences, Child and Family Studies, Interior Design, or Family and Consumer Sciences:
Access to great academic resources and hands-on learning opportunities:
We are the only school in the country to have a fabric printer that uses the technology of nano-inks, allowing our students to experience all stages of the design process. We also produce a fashion show each spring, which became so popular we had to do it twice! Our students have access to the Piper Child Development Center, the Parker Design Center with a CAD lab, a food lab, and an interior design product library.
Great placement rates for jobs or graduate programs:
Our curriculum and other learning experiences make our graduates fit for graduate school or the work force. You'll have knowledge of the latest trends and research in your field of study as well as some great experiences for your resume. Take a moment to see what graduate schools our alumni have attended or sample these employers where alumni have found success.
A caring and knowledgeable faculty:
We've got more than just an "open door policy." In our department it's an "open door culture." Small class sizes allow for individual attention, and faculty are always accessible. We are committed to providing you with a comprehensive and thorough education in a supportive environment. Additionally, our faculty are active scholars, conducting research and engaging in other scholarly activity to make sure that what goes on in the classroom is the most up-to-date knowledge in the profession.
