School of Human and Consumer Sciences
Tupper Hall
V. Ann Paulins, Director
The School of Human and Consumer Sciences, accredited by the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, offers programs in child and family studies, food and nutrition, interior design, and retail merchandising. There are nine professional curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science in Human and Consumer Sciences. In addition, University College and the school offer a two-year curriculum in child development leading to the A.A. degree. Graduate work leading to the M.S. degree also is offered (see the Graduate Catalog).
The school provides for a variety of activities and experiences, including the Child Development Center and the Nutrition Treatment Program.
Child Development Center
The Ohio University Child Development Center provides clinical opportunities for Ohio University students from the Schools of Human and Consumer Sciences, Hearing and Speech Sciences, and Recreation and Sport Sciences; the Department of Psychology; and the College of Education, and other related disciplines throughout the university.The philosophy of the Child Development Center is based on the belief that children best acquire knowledge when they are in an enriched environment that is challenging, stimulating, and nurturing. The primary commitment of the Child Development Center is to help children realize their full potential in emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development.
A second responsibility of the Child Development Center is to play an active, coordinated role in preparing preschool and early childhood educators. The center is also committed to research that furthers knowledge of the growth and development of children, family relations, and educational curricula.
Finally, the center acts to support families in the Athens community, offering both developmental child care and professional knowledge of children's growth, development, and learning.
Nutrition Treatment Program
This program has four main objectives:- To provide learning opportunities for senior dietetic and master's-level nutrition majors
- To offer a health care service to community residents
- To provide outreach educational efforts to improve the nutrition awareness of the community
- To foster research designed to promote client understanding and compliance and to maximize students' decision-making and problem-solving skills.
The American Dietetic Association-approved program in didactic dietetic education is charged with providing students with practice-related learning experience. Through working with clients, students gain experience in nutrition assessment, developing a plan of care to meet client needs, implementing and evaluating that plan, and documenting progress in the medical record. Nutrition counseling allows dietetic majors to synthesize and apply previously acquired knowledge in a practical ambulatory-care setting under the guidance of a registered and licensed dietitian.
The Nutrition Treatment Program provides a service to area residents who show some degree of cardiovascular or other disease risk. The goal is to help the at-risk individual prevent or attenuate any incident through adoption of eating behaviors appropriate to the client's individual health needs and lifestyle.
The Nutrition Treatment Program provides the community with educational programming on issues of current nutritional concern through newsletters, oral presentations to campus and community groups, panel discussions, and radio and television features. The goal is to increase public awareness, knowledge, and adoption of recommended nutritional practices.
The Nutrition Treatment Program fosters research designed better to serve clients and encourages research that helps future dietetic professionals develop conceptual and decision-making skills.
Regional Food Service Management Program
The School of Human and Consumer Sciences is offering courses required for completion of the Food Service Management Program through the Ohio University regional campus system. Students interested in this program will have the opportunity to complete all degree requirements at a regional campus: Ohio University Chillicothe, Ohio University Eastern, Ohio University Lancaster, Ohio University Southern, and Ohio University Zanesville. Food laboratory experiences will utilize selected alternative laboratory sites. The program requirements remain the same regardless of campus. See Food Service Management (page 207) for further details about the program.Degree Requirements for All Majors
Candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Human and Consumer Sciences must fulfill the university General Education Requirements and complete a minimum of 192 hours (see "General Education Requirements" in the Graduation Requirements-University Wide section). A g.p.a. of 2.0 (C) is required on all hours attempted (both overall and in your major) but includes only final hours and grade points on retaken courses. Some programs have additional criteria that must be met. In addition, you may be required to have a g.p.a. higher than 2.0 (C) to obtain certain field experiences or internships, to be admitted to teacher education, or to be admitted to graduate school or student teaching.Note: most undergraduate courses offered through the School of Human and Consumer Sciences can be retaken up to two times (i.e., one initial registration and two retakes). Variable credit courses usually cannot be retaken (i.e., with the possibility of the initial grade being removed), but can be repeated for credit to count toward your degree.
Early Childhood Education
Major code BS6355
Early childhood education prepares you to teach children three years old through third grade. As a result of a change in teaching licensure requirements mandated by the State of Ohio effective September 1998 for implementation of new teaching licenses beginning September 2002, elementary education as a teaching certificate has been eliminated. You must now choose between obtaining licensure for either early childhood education (ages three through eight or prekindergarten through grade three) or middle childhood (ages eight through 14 or grades four through nine). In addition to being able to work with children ages three through third grade by majoring in early childhood education, you can also teach in nursery schools, child-care centers, and Head Start programs. You must meet the criteria for selective admission to and retention to teacher education as established by the College of Education (see "Admission to Professional Education" in the College of Education section), including a 2.75 g.p.a. in your major, in required professional education courses, and overall. To graduate in this major, you must complete all College of Education requirements. Upon completion of the program and after passing the Praxis II exam, you are eligible for an Ohio provisional teaching license in early childhood education.
Required General Education
Ohio requirements for teacher licensure state that you must complete a general studies program that include the arts, communications, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, sciences and the social sciences. In addition, the general studies curriculum should incorporate multicultural and global perspectives. You should work closely with your faculty advisor to select courses that would fulfill both Ohio University General Education Requirements (see the Graduation Requirements section) and the requirements for teacher certification/licensure.Specific Tier I quantitative course requirements that you must fulfill are:
