Here you won’t learn how to make flapjacks or darn stockings. Home Economics at the college level teaches real and practical economic skills necessary to sage personal finance and family management.
Home Economics borrows from several related fields in the humanities to provide a broad base of knowledge to its students. Home Economics majors have the opportunity to take courses in everything from mathematics to sociology, providing them with a strong set of critical and analytical tools helpful in both their personal and professional careers.
As our society becomes increasingly complicated, a major in Home Economics prepares students to manage families and solve the problems that they must face daily.
