Curriculum

This program of study is for motivated students who want to make a difference among the next generation of Georgia’s workforce.

In this Double Dawgs pathway, you’ll begin taking coursework in your Family and Consumer Sciences area of emphasis by the second semester of your second year, following coursework in a variety of areas that will add to your expertise in your chosen specialty.

During the Summer of your third and fourth years, plan to take graduate-level courses, typically in the workforce development area, followed by just two additional semesters of graduate study.

Because undergraduates may share up to 12 graduate-level courses with their undergraduate program of study, the master’s degree coursework begins when you are still an undergraduate.
