Also known as Home Economics or Human Ecology, Family and Consumer Science is a study discipline that is concerned with various aspects of individual and family life as part of the society, the relationship between them and the relation with the environment. This domestic science discipline, initially born out of the desire to educate the women about effectively running their house-holds, nowadays combines and exploits many fields such as food, nutrition, design, consumer behavior, parenting and education, resource management, sexual education and even fire prevention or traffic rules. It is now a wide discipline, present at a certain level in all educational cycles and especially a well-established academic discipline with high importance and impact in the development of the human society.
As a graduate of this discipline you would be working in the human services area, practicing professions like designer, housing specialist, consumer specialist, nutritionist, social worker, educator or many others that aim at improving the quality of human life in all ways possible.
