Abstract
The annual collection of graduate student degree completion and research was initiated with an e-mail to 165 universities and colleges in the United States in June 2021. This invitation requested information on family and consumer sciences graduate programs, specifically degrees and research completed in 2020. Twenty-five institutions responded reporting a total of 137 master’s theses, 174 doctoral dissertations, and 578 non-thesis master’s degrees completed in family and consumer sciences in 2020. This article reviews the degree completion as well as trends in topics of theses and dissertations completed within family and consumer sciences programs.
