In what year did Home Economics change its name to Family and Consumer Sciences?

The change from Home Economics to Family and Consumer Sciences occurred in 1995. This shift represented a broader and more modern understanding of the discipline, which encompasses a wide range of topics related to family, community, and consumer issues. The updated terminology reflects the evolving focus of the field to include not just home management and economic skills, but also education on personal finance, nutrition, wellness, and family relations. This change aimed to make the field more relevant to contemporary society and to highlight its importance in preparing individuals to manage the complexities of family and consumer life in the 21st century.
