The Department of Home Economics is based on a rich tradition that began nearly one hundred years ago at the very inception of Ricks College. 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. The Department offers preparation for professional careers serving the home and family at the Associate, Baccalaureate, or post graduate level. A complete array of lower division classes exist for those who plan to transfer to another institution to continue their education in Foods and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, Fashion Merchandising, Home Economics Education, etc. In addition two-year career degrees are offered in Fashion Design and Production, Dietetic Technician, Culinary Arts, as well as a F.I.D.E.R. accredited three-year program in Interior Design.
Dietetics is a four or five year program that prepares a student to meet the qualifications for practice in Dietetics. Students completing an accredited program are eligible to take the R. D. exam to become a Registered Dietitian. They can complete the first two years of a Pre-Dietetics program at Ricks College. They must then apply for the professional phase of the program at a four-year university. Students must contact the advisor at the beginning of the first semester at Ricks to structure their program to meet the core cur-riculum requirements of the university they select.
Dietitians are highly qualified professionals on the health care team, recognized as experts on food and nutrition. They may work in a variety of settings such as: Healthcare facilities doing nutrition counseling or working in food service management in the community. Public and home health agencies. In government-funded programs that feed and counsel families. In colleges and universities teaching future healthcare workers. In research or as a consultant dietitian working full or part-time in their own private practice.
