DEPARTMENT OF HOME AND FAMILY EDUCATION
The  Department  of  Home  and  Family  Education  is  based  on  a  rich  tradition  that  began  nearly  one  hundred  years  ago.    The  central  purpose  is  to  provide  training  in  skills  which  are  essential  to  home  building  and  application  of  principles  declared  in  the  "Proclamation  for  the  Family."

Theory  is  taught  in  lecture  classes.    However,  the  Department  is  unique  in  that  it  offers  labs  in  which  to  practice  skills.    Students  across  campus  may  register  for  classes  which  do  not  require  prerequisites.

One  Bachelor  of  Science  degree  is  offered  with  a  composite  major  in  Family  and  Consumer  Science  Education.

A  two-year  Associate  Degree  is  offered  in  Culinary  Arts.
