BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION
Choose the profession that impacts lives. . . Become a teacher of Family & Consumer Sciences!
The Department of Family & Consumer Sciences (FACS) offers a Bachelor of Science in Education (BSE) degree in Family & Consumer Sciences and is recognized as a premier educator licensure program in the state of Arkansas. While we welcome any out-of-state candidates, completion of any program, other than an initial licensure program, may not lead to licensure or endorsement in Arkansas or in the state in which you reside. It is your responsibility to check with your state’s department of education to determine if the license or endorsement requirements are met through the program of study. If you are a potential out-of-state candidate, please contact the program coordinator directly.
BSE graduates are prepared for licensure in secondary (7 – 12) FACS. In addition to FACS secondary teaching positions, career opportunities in business, industry, and the public sector are available to the graduate with an education degree in FACS.
