Abstract

The family and consumer sciences (FCS) profession is undergoing a critical shortage of highly qualified teachers and is experiencing an urgent need for Extension educators.

The program capitalizes on the growing educational possibilities created through the spreading of distance education. This paper reports on this initiative, concluding that the program is beneficial for the FCS teaching profession, universities, and students, and it is crucial for the future of the profession.
