Kappa Omicron Nu (ΚΟΝ) is a college honor society, based in the United States, for students in human sciences.

Kappa Omicron Nu chapters are located at colleges and universities that offer a strong human sciences program.

Its mission is to promote empowered leaders through excellence in scholarship, leadership, and research in the human sciences.

Phi Upsilon Omicron was also invited to join in the discussion of forming one honor society but demurred.

As the home economics profession evolved, in 1994 the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) changed the name of the profession from "home economics" to "family and consumer sciences" to better reflect the changing needs in the United States and the current scope of topics related to this field.
