Human
Ecology
Human
Ecology offers six degree programs. The general Human Ecology program
is designed for students who have career goals that require basic
preparation in each of the major subject areas of the faculty. The
Textile Sciences program teaches a curriculum beyond fashion design
and merchandising as students transform textile concepts into textile
products for apparel and non-apparel uses, or create textiles that
play an important role in maintaining and promoting health. The Family
Social Sciences program examines factors affecting human psychosocial
health and well-being. They study human development from infancy to
old age within the context of the family, the community, and the culture.
The Human Nutritional Sciences program focuses on the role of nutrition
in health and disease prevention, the application of nutrition to
meet diverse human needs and lifestyles, and the importance of nutrition
and food policies for community health. The Health Studies and Health
Sciences programs (available to students in September 2007) will help
students understand the factors that affect people working in health-related
settings: health issues and products, needs of clients, delivery of
health services and programs.
