The discipline of Human Ecology, also known as Family and Consumer Sciences, exists to enhance the quality of life for individuals, families and communities. The body of knowledge incorporates the integrative elements of human ecosystems and life course development. Inclusion of core concepts such as basic human needs, individual well being, family strengths and community vitality prepare graduates to work with individuals and families using a holistic perspective. Understanding the influences both external and internal environments have on quality of life is the foundation of the discipline. Graduates find employment in a variety of settings including: health care, education, management, design, marketing/retailing, and human service professions.
