University of Georgia College of Family and Consumer Sciences

The University of Georgia College of Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) is a college within the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, Georgia, United States.

History

Family and consumer sciences began at the University of Georgia in 1918 with the establishment of the Division of Home Economics. In 1919, Mary E. Creswell became both the first home economics graduate and the first female to graduate from the University of Georgia.
