Just
what is Consumer and Family Sciences?
This is the question we are asked the most. The answer has varied over
time. In 1911, when Western Kentucky University moved to its present
location on College Heights, a new department was formed: Domestic
Science and Domestic Arts. Many changes have occurred over the last
nine decades including changes in faculty, curricula and even the name:
Consumer and Family Sciences; however, one thing that has
not changed is the high standard of academic quality advocated by the
Faculty and Staff of Consumer and Family Sciences.
The approximately 500 CFS students play a big role in this academic
quality by participating in the University Honors Program and a variety
of preprofessional Organizations. Please feel free to examine
this website to learn more about Consumer and Family Sciences at
WKU.
WKU is located in historic Bowling Green,
one of the fastest
growing communities in Kentucky with a population of approximately
85,000 that features such attractions as the Kentucky Museum, Corvette
Museum, Hobson House, and nearby Mammoth
Cave National Park. Located on Interstate 65 about 120 miles south
of Louisville, Kentucky, and 65 miles north of Nashville, Tennessee,
Bowling Green gives you that "college town flavor" while still offering
conveniences of larger cities in the region.
