School of Human and Consumer Sciences
Tupper Hall
Judith Matthews, 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 Edu- cation, as well as from other related disciplines throughout the university.The philosophy of the Child Development Center is based on the belief that learning results from the dynamic interaction between children's emerging cognitive and affective systems and their environment. The primary commitment of the Child Development Center is to help children realize their fullest potential in their 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. In addition to serving as a training and observation site for Ohio University students, the center is committed to research that furthers knowledge of the growth and development of children, of family relations, and of educational curricula.
Finally, the center acts as an extension of and support to 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 and master's-level dietetic 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.
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.pa. 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 BS6350
This program prepares you for teaching in nursery schools, child-care centers, Head Start programs, prekindergarten programs in public schools, and preschool programs for disabled children. You must meet the criteria for selective admission to and retention in 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. Upon completion of this program and after passing the NTE core/battery and early childhood education specialty tests, you are eligible for a four-year provisional Ohio prekindergarten teaching certificate.Required General Education Courses: 45 hours
Ohio requirements for teacher certification state that to apply for a teaching certificate you must complete 45 quarter hours of general education courses well distributed in the areas of science and mathematics, social sciences, English and/or foreign language, and comparative arts and/or philosophy.
You also must complete Ohio University's General Education Requirements (see "General Education Requirements" in the Graduation Requirements section). Work closely with your faculty advisor to make certain that both sets of requirements are met.
The breakdown of these teacher certification general education course requirements is:
Science and Mathematics
You are required to complete at least one course in science and one course in mathematics. Appropriate science courses are astronomy, chemistry, physical science, geological sciences, physics, plant biology, and biological sciences. Any Tier I quantitative skills course or any course in the Department of Mathematics except 101, 102, or 320 is acceptable for the mathematics requirement. Computer science courses, with the exception of CS 220, do not satisfy this requirement.Comparative Arts and/or Philosophy
You are required to complete at least two courses in this area. The two courses need not be in the same field. Possibilities include any course in the Department of Philosophy; School of Comparative Arts; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, or 309; theater history courses; Art History; Art (except for ART 360, 461, 462); School of Music courses except for music education courses, music therapy courses, and the one- and two-hour participation courses. MUS 160 Music Fundamentals, or MUS 262 Music in Early Childhood, is required.Social Sciences
You are required to complete at least two courses in social sciences. The two courses need not be in the same field. PSY 101, which is required, is included as one of the social sciences courses. Other possibilities include any course in anthropology, economics, economic education, history, political science, sociology, social work, geography, and psychology, except PSY 120, 221, 226, 275, 312, and 314.English and/or Foreign Language
You are required to complete at least two courses in English and/or foreign language. The two courses need not be in the same field. Freshman and junior English composition courses taken to satisfy the university English composition requirement (see General Education Requirements in the Graduation Requirements section of this catalog) may be used toward completion of these hours. INCO 103 is a specific requirement in this area. Possibilities in this area include all English courses except ENG 451 and 452; any linguistics course; any foreign language course except ML 410 and 445; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309. (These humanities courses may NOT count toward the General Education Requirements in both the English and/or foreign language field and the comparative arts and/or philosophy field.)If two courses in each of the above fields do not add up to a total of 45 hours, you must select sufficient hours in one or a combination of the above areas to bring the total hours in general education courses to 45 hours.
Thirty-Hour Concentration
A 30-hour concentration is required in one of the following areas: anthropology, art, child and society, economics, English, family and society, geography, history, interpersonal communication, modern languages (French, German, Spanish), mathematics, music, political science, psychology, sociology, science, or social science. A concentration may contain ten quarter hours that are used to meet the General Education Requirements in English, science, mathematics, or social sciences.
