SCHOOL OF HUMAN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

Karla Hughes, Dean, 142 Rivers Building

CURRICULA

The mission of the School of Human Environmental Sciences is to improve the quality of life for individuals and families through education, research, and service. The knowledge base of the field includes individual and family development through the life span, early childhood education, human nutrition and food, the management of food service and lodging operations, interior design, apparel, and textiles. The faculty members of the school are committed to educating students for professional practice; to conducting research on the conditions which influence the quality of life for individuals and families; and to extending the knowledge of human environmental sciences through service to the state of North Carolina and beyond.

The School of Human Environmental Sciences offers undergraduate study in the following fields: birth through kindergarten teacher education, child life, nutrition and dietetics, family and community services, hospitality management, interior design, and merchandising.

The School of Human Environmental Sciences offers baccalaureate and master's degree programs through three departments: apparel merchandising and interior design; child development and family relations; and nutrition and hospitality management. The interior design major is accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER) and endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). The dietetics major is a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) approved by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association. CADE is a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. The Department of Nutrition and Hospitality Management also offers a dietetic internship that is accredited by CADE (See graduate catalog for details.). Completion of an approved DPD and an accredited dietetic internship or other accredited/approved supervised experience program are required to become a registered dietitian (RD). The Department of Child Development and Family Relations offers course work in partial fulfillment of the Family Life Education Certification from the National Council on Family Relations, the Infant-Toddler and Family Specialist Certification from the NC Department of Human Resources, Child Life Certification from the Association for the Care of Children's Health, and birth-kindergarten teacher licensure from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Teacher certification in family and consumer sciences is offered by the School of Education in cooperation with the School of Human Environmental Sciences. (See School of Education.)

Students completing the major and minor requirements within the School of Human Environmental Sciences may use human environmental sciences core courses to satisfy only one requirement. A specific course may not be used to count toward the major and minor.

BACHELOR’S AND ACCELERATED MBA PROGRAM

Students in the merchandising or hospitality management programs who also wish to complete an MBA with either an apparel and textile management option or a hospitality management option may elect to follow an accelerated program of study. This program allows students to complete the requirements for the BS degree in four years and, if qualified, the MBA in two semesters plus summer study. Interested students should consult with their adviser early in the undergraduate program regarding required courses, sequencing, and grade requirements. (See Section 6, Undergraduate Studies, Bachelor’s and Accelerated MBA Program.)

BS IN INTERIOR DESIGN

Students complete the freshman and sophomore preparatory courses in interior design followed by admission into professional-level (junior-senior) courses based on an acceptable level of proficiency in studio work as shown in the sophomore portfolio review, a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA, and a minimum grade of C in the following courses: AMID 1180, 1181, 1500, 2040, 2500, 2501, 2600, 2601.

Sophomore Portfolio Review: During the second semester of the sophomore year, students submit portfolios which contain representative work from specific design courses, AMID 1181, 1500, 2501, 2601, and DESN 3031. This work is evaluated by the interior design faculty, who recommend whether students are prepared to enter the professional-level interior design courses (junior- and senior-level courses). Students who do not meet the level of proficiency needed for the professional-level courses have the opportunity to re-enroll in lower-level courses until they acquire acceptable proficiency.

Policy on Student Projects: The AMID department reserves the right to retain, exhibit, and reproduce design projects submitted by students for class assignments for the purpose of complying with accreditation and program requirements. Work submitted for grades is the property of the department until it is returned to the students. Minimum degree requirement is 126 s.h. of credit as follows:
