School of Human and Consumer Sciences
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
