Family Studies Department at City College of
San Francisco is to provide a
developmentally appropriate education for students,

Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) has been part of the Harding University since its founding in 1924. Each student is given opportunities for networking with professionals through on-campus lecture series, career shadowing, field trips, internships, and attendance at professional meetings. FCS is multidimensional with the overall mission of assisting individuals, families and communities in making informed decisions about well-being, relationships, and resources to achieve optimal quality of life. The building blocks of human existence-food, clothing, shelter, human relationships, family life, consumer products and services remain the foundation of research, and practice.
