    Course Descriptions

    The Department of Home and Family Education is based on a rich tradition that began over one hundred years ago. This tradition is based on the unchanging concept within the Church that the home is the most important institution in the world, thus stressing that skills essential to home building remain a priority even today.

    Theory is taught in lecture classes. However, the Department is unique in that it offers labs in which to practice and develop skill in those principles. All HFED classes are available to students across the campus. However, some courses have prerequisites.

    Students are also well prepared for careers in secondary education with a Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Consumer Science. Minors are offered in Home and Family Living and Food and Nutrition. A two year associate degree is offered in Culinary Arts.

    After reviewing the program requirements listed below, see http://www2.byui.edu/homefamed/home/ for a recommended sequence of courses.
