“…Human development (16.53%) was the second largest category for master’s theses, also an increase in share from 13.99% in 2017. Both categories, nutrition and dietetics and human development, have consistently been the top two categories for master’s theses for the past six years (Kabaci, , , , ; Wilmarth, , ). The third top category for theses in 2018 was marriage and family therapy with 7.85% of reported theses, not a top category in the past two years.…”

Representatives at 164 universities and colleges in the United States were contacted in June 2019 requesting information on theses and dissertations from family and consumer sciences graduate programs. A total of 33 universities and colleges responded to the request reporting 250 theses, 167 dissertations, and 682 non‐thesis master’s degrees were completed in the area of family and consumer sciences from the reporting universities and colleges. Graduate research topics continue to include the breadth, depth, and interdisciplinary nature of the field of family and consumer sciences and the ability of our research to improve lives.

Between June and August 2018, requests to collect the titles and authors of theses and dissertations were sent to representatives in family and consumer sciences programs at 168 universities and colleges in the United States. A total of 286 theses and 200 dissertations were reported from 32 universities and colleges. The largest numbers of thesis titles were in Nutrition and Dietetics while the largest numbers for dissertations were in Human Development (including Gerontology). Research was broad, including all specialties within family and consumer sciences, but key themes included the following: wellness, public policy issues, prevention and improvement of health, global perspectives, and technology. Additionally, 687 master's degrees to students with non‐thesis options were awarded from 21 reporting universities and colleges. This annual review continues to be a resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in family and consumer sciences as it suggests potential research opportunities for graduate students and early career researchers.

“…The listing of titles and authors of theses and dissertations included in the annual report are published in the December issue and are also available in this section of the website (2008 – current year). As noted by Kabaci (, ), this listing provides “an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students of FCS programs” (p. 95). Review of these listings can expand current research, guide future research, and promote collaborative research.…”
