The College of Human Sciences and Education was established in July 1992. There are five units in the college. Four of these—Apparel, Design, and Hospitality Management; Human Development and Family Science; Education; and Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences—offer programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, specialist and doctoral levels. The fifth—Center for 4-H Youth Development—offers Extension youth programming across the state. Students are prepared for careers in education, colleges and universities, business and industry, community services, hospitals and health care facilities, and public and private programs concerned with design, human welfare, fitness, and sport.

Mission

The mission of the College of Human Sciences and Education is to provide nationally recognized educational programs and conduct research and other scholarly activities that focus on people as they interact in work, educational, and living environments.

Opportunities are provided to broaden the student’s understanding and appreciation of the aesthetic, cultural, economic, physical, psychological, and social elements that influence individual and family well-being. Programs are designed to help each student develop professional competencies, attain a liberal education, and relate the basic disciplines to various applications.

The Master of Athletic Training program (MATrg) is certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Education programs are accredited by Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and approved by the North Dakota Education and Standards and Practices Board (ESPB).

The School Counseling, Community Counseling, and Counselor Education and Supervision programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The Dietetics program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). The Interior Design program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA).

The Exercise Science Program is endorsed by the Commission of Accreditation of Allied Health Education programs (CAAHEP): Committee on Accreditation for Exercise Sciences. Family Financial Planning is approved by the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Board of Standards. Hospitality and Tourism Management is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration (ACPHA).

Degree Programs

Undergraduate programs in the college lead to a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree. Recommendation of candidates for teacher certification also rests within this college through the School of Education.

Graduate study leading to a Master of Science degree is offered in Human Development and Family Science, Counseling, Merchandising, Educational Leadership, Athletic Training, Leadership in Physical Education and Sport, Exercise Science, Nutrition Science, Dietetics, and Teacher Education. A Master of Education degree may be earned through Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences and the School of Education. A Master of Athletic Training (MATrg) degree may be earned through Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences. Doctoral programs also are offered by the college in Counselor Education and Supervision, Developmental Science, Education and Exercise Science and Nutrition. The doctoral program in Education (Ph.D. or Ed.D.) has a cross-disciplinary emphasis, which allows students a choice between two tracks: Institutional Analysis and Occupational and Adult Education. A dual major doctoral program in gerontology is offered in coordination with a doctoral degree from one of the following areas: Developmental Science, Education and Exercise Science and Nutrition. For more complete details, see the Graduate Bulletin online.

The College of HS&E offers seven master’s programs or program options online. Online programs make earning an advanced degree an option for anyone accepted into the college of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. The programs are: Merchandising, Family Financial Planning, Gerontology, Youth Development, Family and Consumer Science Education, Dietetics and Leadership in Physical Education and Sport. For more information view the Graduate School web site.

Degree Requirements

Students enrolled in major programs in the college are required to follow curriculum guidelines, available in the Academic Advising Office of the college or department offices, for each of the program options and majors. Course requirements in each program fulfill university, college, and departmental requirements. Refer also to graduation requirements and related information listed earlier in the Academic Policies section.

Courses taken pass/fail will not be used to satisfy any requirements other than total credits. Departments may have additional restrictions. Approval must be obtained and processed during the first three weeks of the regular semester. Once processed, a course cannot be changed back to regular grading.

General college requirements for undergraduate degrees extend beyond the minimum university general education requirements. An adviser should be consulted for specific courses. Students also are encouraged to follow their own interests in choosing electives that go beyond the minimum requirements.
