Faculty of Human Ecology
Human Ecology as a field of study encompasses the structure and
development of human communities and the ways in which people
interact with their environments. Particular emphasis is placed
on the needs of people and the resources used to meet these
needs.
Students acquire competence through study of selected aspects of
the major material resources of the human habitat and of the
basic arts and sciences that contribute to an understanding of
human development. The educational goals of the curriculum are to
provide a basis for students to use, interpret,
and adapt information and technology for the benefit of society and to
prepare
students for a variety of careers. The tradition of the
Faculty as an educational unit concerned with human needs and
resources dates back to 1910.
The Faculty of Human Ecology currently includes Departments of:
Clothing and Textiles, Family Studies, and Foods and Nutrition.
Study in the Faculty offers background that can lead to career
opportunities in business and industry, dietetics and
institutional administration, education,
government and research.
