Master’s Degree with Teacher Licensure
This option allows students with a bachelor’s degree to work toward a M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction and licensure in Family and Consumer Sciences Education. Students can take all of their courses at K-State or online from other institutions. More information about the family and consumer sciences distance opportunities is available here.
Students complete 15 hours of general curriculum and instruction courses, 15 hours in their area of specialization, and a 1-6 credit hour research project, report, or thesis. For more information read M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction (Adobe Acrobat).
Students should have their transcripts reviewed to determine the courses that must be taken to meet Kansas Department of Education requirements for licensure in Family and Consumer Sciences. Some undergraduate courses may be needed to fulfill these requirements (Microsoft Word). To determine approximately how many courses/credits you have remaining to receive licensure, complete the licensure checklist (Microsoft Word) and send the checklist and your transcripts to for review. After her review, an official letter will be sent indicating the remaining courses.
