Advancing family and consumer sciences (FCS) graduate education ensures the vitality and sustainability of the profession. The ever-changing landscape of higher education, the economy, and the labor market requires increasingly agile and adaptable professionals to serve society. Examining the curriculum and creating student-centered FCS graduate education programs will help programs remain relevant and in-demand during the years ahead. This article recommends strategies for modernizing the PhD, professional doctorate, master's degree, and non-degree credentials. Considerations for designing student-centered FCS graduate programs are presented.
