The School of Human Environmental Sciences at the University of Arkansas prepares students for a wide variety of professional careers in education, industry, business, government and community services. The School is concerned with improving the quality of life for individuals and families as they exist and function in society. Human environmental sciences draws knowledge from its own research, from the physical, biological, and social sciences, and from arts and humanities. It relates this knowledge to an understanding of individuals' and families' needs and goals for food, clothing, shelter, management of resources, and human development and relationships. The School of Human Environmental Sciences has made a substantial contribution to the development of individuals and families through undergraduate and graduate preparation of human environmental scientists and through research in human nutrition, foods, human development, family relations, interior design, clothing and textiles.

Food, Human Nutrition and Hospitality (FHNH)
The curriculum in food, human nutrition and hospitality allows students to prepare for a career in a specialized area of foods and nutrition by completing a common set of basic courses and one of the concentrations: A: dietetics (DIET); B: general foods and nutrition (GFNU) and C: hospitality and restaurant management (HRMN). Interest and aptitude for the biological and physical sciences that support nutrition science are needed to complete concentrations A and B successfully. Concentration C is the best choice for those students who have an interest in management and who enjoy working with people.
Concentration A - Dietetics (DIET): This concentration is for the student whose goal is to become a registered dietitian (RD). Courses required include those necessary as prerequisites to a dietetic internship. An internship is required for eligibility to take the national registration examination and for eligibility for licensure. Students who complete the program with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 may apply for an internship. Upon licensure, students practice as registered dietitians in the health care field or as consulting dietitians in private practice, sports nutrition or in wellness and health maintenance centers. Students with lower GPAs may apply for supervised practice programs leading to the dietetic technician registered (DTR) certification.
Concentration B - General Foods and Nutrition (GFNU): Students taking this concentration are encouraged to select an approved minor from the Bumpers, Walton or Fulbright colleges or plan other combinations of courses to prepare for non-traditional vocations including work in community or government sponsored programs, wellness and health maintenance centers, public relations in the food industry, TV/media outlets for food and nutrition information, and international food or nutritional programs.
Concentration C - Hospitality and Restaurant Management (HRMN): Students in the hospitality and restaurant management concentration prepare themselves for managerial positions in the restaurant and hospitality industry. This dynamic curriculum provides students with skills in foods and business, as well as hospitality and restaurant management. Students have the opportunity to manage and operate the Sunset Garden Restaurant on campus. Students obtain hands-on experience by completing 1,000 hours of satisfactory, verifiable work experience in the hospitality and restaurant industry, usually completed during the summer and on part-time jobs during the school year. This noncredit work experience must be completed prior to graduation. A management internship, which allows students to acquire practical management experience and specialized knowledge from supervised work in a hotel, restaurant or other hospitality-related business, is also part of this degree. Students in this program can complete a minor in business.

Human Development and Family Sciences (HDFS)
Students majoring in human development and family sciences prepare for one of the fastest growing employment opportunities in the country. The human services area includes jobs that serve people from conception through the last stages of life. Students develop skills for working with individuals and families in governmental, private, and nonprofit organizations. Two concentrations are offered:
Concentration A: Child Development (CDEV)
This area of concentration
is for students who desire in-depth knowledge of children and programs
for children from birth through age 12. The focus on children covers issues
from the prenatal to early adolescent period
in the lifespan. Graduates are working as preschool teachers, daycare
directors, specialists in the field of child life and as child
advocates.
Concentration B: Lifespan (LSPN)
This area of study covers the care issues faced by families and individuals in contemporary society. The knowledge and skills developed in this program will prepare the student to work in areas such as aging, parent education, financial and consumer counseling, youth services and other human service type careers.
