School of Human and Consumer Sciences
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, nutrition and hospitality; interior architecture; and retail merchandising. There are nine professional curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science in Human and Consumer Sciences. In addition, the school offers a two-year curriculum in child development leading to the A.A.S. degree. Graduate work leading to the M.S. degree also is offered (see the Graduate Catalog ).
The mission of the School of Human and Consumer Sciences is to promote the quest for the improvement of quality of life and the human condition through the integration of theory, research, and practice. The school endeavors to emphasize the relationships of the needs of individuals and families across life's span to the society and environment. The school is committed to seeking innovative solutions to contemporary challenges and assumes responsibility for the dissemination of knowledge to the public to improve the quality of choice and consumption of goods and services.
The school provides a variety of activities and experiences, including a departmental honors program, the Child Development Center, the Atrium Cafe, and the Nutrition Treatment Program.
Honors ProgramThe School of Human and Consumer Sciences' Honors Program offers academically qualified students a more advanced and challenging educational experience related to the study of human and consumer sciences. The program provides opportunities for involvement in scholarly independent work, one-on-one interaction with faculty, and an in-depth study of one area of human and consumer sciences.
Throughout the Honors Program, students work under the guidance of a faculty honors advisor and the Honors Program coordinator to plan and complete a thesis course sequence HCGE 495H, 497H, 498H, and 499H during which a project is designed, executed, reported in writing, and presented to the students' honors advisory committee and others. Projects may be research, development of educational materials, in-depth senior term papers, or original designs. Those students who successfully complete their honors project receive special designation on their diplomas. For more information, refer to https://www.ohio.edu/humanandconsumer/honors.htm
The Atrium CafeThe primary purpose of the Atrium Cafe is to serve as a quantity food preparation laboratory for students in the food, nutrition and hospitality programs in the School of Human and Consumer Sciences. It is a commercial establishment housed in Grover Center -- open to the public for breakfast and lunch weekdays during the academic quarter.
In addition to quantity food preparation, students use the site as a management education facility, a laboratory to learn purchasing and inventory management, and as a site to practice organizational strategy. Students in other areas of Ohio University use the Atrium Cafe to experience marketing strategy, promotional techniques, customer service, and event planning.
The mission of the Atrium Cafe in Grover Center is to provide a best-practices laboratory site for food, nutrition and hospitality students in the School of Human and Consumer Sciences, Ohio University. The operation of the Atrium Cafe will strive to achieve
-good management practices
-high quality food
-a clean and pleasant environment
-structured opportunities for student learning at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels
-collaborative relationships with programs in the School, the College of Health and Human Services, Ohio University, and the Athens community.
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, Speech and Language Sciences, and Recreation and Sport Sciences, as well as the Department of Psychology, the College of Education, and other related departments 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 prepare 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 ProgramThis program has four main objectives: (1) to provide learning opportunities for senior dietetic and master's-level nutrition majors; (2) to offer a health care service to community residents; (3) to provide outreach educational efforts to improve the nutrition awareness of the community; and (4) to foster research designed to promote client understanding and compliance and to maximize students' decision-making and problem-solving skills.
The Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education-approved program in didactic dietetic education is charged with providing students with learning based on practical 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 at-risk individuals prevent or attenuate disease through adoption of eating behaviors appropriate to their 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 to serve clients and encourages research that helps future dietic professionals develop conceptual and decision-making skills.

Food, Nutrition and Hospitality
Program StandardsTo remain active in any program option listed as Food and Nutrition, you must meet the following criteria:
- Maintain overall g.p.a. of 2.0 (C) or better in all hours attempted at Ohio University.
- Earn at least a C (2.0) or better in each course listed under Major Requirements and Related Requirements (both dietetics and nutrition with science majors).
Earn at least a 2.0 (C) in each course listed under Major Requirements (Restaurant, Hotel and Tourism major).
You must successfully earn a C (2.0) in all required HCFN courses by the end of the third enrollment in each course. Other schools and departments may also limit the number of times you may retake a course. If, after your second enrollment in a HCFN course, you have not earned a C (2.0) or better, you will receive a letter from the food, hospitality, and nutrition coordinator informing you that you must obtain a satisfactory grade at the end of the next enrollment in that course or you will be dropped from the major.Note: To become a registered dietitian, you must first complete a minimum of a bachelor's degree and course work approved by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association, followed by the CADE-accredited or approved, supervised practice program, which typically lasts 6-12 months, at a health care facility, community agency or a food service corporation (may be combined with undergraduate or graduate studies). Finally, you must pass a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
Two majors at Ohio University meet the first step of this process, Dietetics and Nutrition with Science. The program is currently granted approval by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association, 216 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60606-6995, 312.899.5400. CADE has established a process for making complaints against dietetic education programs. Please refer to https://www.eatright.org/Public.7782.cfm for the procedure or for more information about CADE.
Note: If you are applying for a post-graduation internship or graduate program, you should be aware that they generally require a minimum accumulative g.p.a. of 3.0 (B) or higher. Completing the graduation requirements of Ohio University and meeting requirements of the Dietetics or Nutrition with Science major does not guarantee that you will be accepted into post-baccalaureate programs for professional experience or graduate study. You must apply to and be granted acceptance into such programs.

Interior Architecture
Major code BS6383The interior architecture program is accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education and Research (FIDER). The program prepares you for a career in design practice in residential and non-residential design, as well as related areas such as lighting, visual display, sales, and professional showroom management.
Program StandardsTo remain active as an interior architecture major, you must meet the following criteria:
- Submit and pass a portfolio review that includes all work from ART 110, 113, 116; HCIA 180, 181, 299; IT 104; CS 120 and P SC 105L. Portfolio reviews take place once each academic year, currently at the end of fall quarter.
- Earn at least a C (2.0) in each studio course marked with an asterisk (*). Students who receive a grade lower than C (2.0) in these courses will be required to retake the course.
- Enroll in an advanced studio course during senior year.
Transfer and Regional StudentsStudents who wish to transfer into the interior architecture major from another institution or regional campus students who are relocating to the Athens campus must submit a portfolio of work for review by the faculty. Students with design work determined by the faculty to be equivalent to that of some or all of the portfolio review required coursework (as listed above) will be reviewed, for the purpose of determining admission to Phase II of the major, at the same time as all other portfolio review submissions, currently taking place at the end of the fall quarter. Transfer students admitted into the major must complete all major requirements determined to be missing from the student's academic design experience.
