SCHOOL OF HUMAN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES (HES)

Mary M. Whan, Interim Director of the School, 118 Home Economics Building, 575-4305

PROFESSORS KENNEY, MARTIN, McCOY, McCURRY, WARNOCK, WHAN; PROFESSORS EMERITAE BURTON, CARROLL, COTTON; ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS BERTONCINO, DOLLAHITE, ELDRINGHOFF ; ASSISTANT PROFESSORS BAILEY, DENNIS, NOBLE, TURNER; WATSON ; ASSISTANT PROFESSORS EMERITAE CUNNINGHAM, NOYCE, RAYMOND; INSTRUCTORS BALDWIN, CRANDALL, LOEWER MOBLEY.

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, housing, management of resources, and human development and relationships. This school, established as the Department of Home Economics in 1913, was elevated to school status in 1994 and the name was changed to Human Environmental Sciences. In 1996 the discipline of Rural Sociology joined the School. The unit 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 nutrition, foods, human development, family relations, housing, clothing, and textiles.

Students in human environmental sciences may choose one of six majors. They are:

Foods and Nutrition (FDNU)
Option A--Dietetics (DIET)
Option B--Hospitality and Restaurant Management (HRMN)
Option C--General Foods and Nutrition (GFNU)
Clothing, Textiles, and Merchandising (CLTX)
Human Environmental Sciences (GHES)
Home Economics Education (HEED)
Housing and Interior Design (IDHS)
Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS)
Option A--Child Development (CDEV)
Option B--Lifespan (LSPN)

A journalism minor exists for students interested in combining any specialized area of human environmental sciences with either print or broadcast journalism or a combination of both.

The curricula in human environmental sciences are organized to include 45-59 semester hours in general education courses that contribute to a liberal education and background for professional courses. Most require a minimum of 46 hours in human environmental sciences courses. The undergraduate education programs leading to the B.S.H.E.S. degree in the School of Human Environmental Sciences that have been accredited by the Council for Professional Development of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences include approximately 13 hours that provide a common body of knowledge in human environmental sciences. The common course requirements generally are:

HES 1501, Orientation to Human Environmental Sciences
HES 1013, Introduction to Clothing Concepts
HES 1213, Nutrition in Health
HES 1803, Introduction to Interior Design
HES 1403, Life Span Development or HES 2413, Family Relations

A total of 132 semester hours is required for graduation in each major. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Human Environmental Sciences (B.S.H.E.S.) must meet all the general University and College requirements for graduation and must satisfactorily complete the degree requirements as outlined in one of the five curricula in human environmental sciences. Faculty advisers assist students in planning individual courses of study and with other matters related to university life.

Requirements for a Minor in Human Environmental Sciences: Students may earn a minor in Human Development and Family Studies or in Human Nutrition. Specific course requirements for the minors are listed at the end of the curriculum section. A student must notify the School of his or her intent to minor.

For information concerning graduate programs in human environmental sciences, consult the Graduate School Catalog.

HOUSING AND INTERIOR DESIGN CURRICULUM

The Housing and Interior Design program is accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER).

Definition of Interior Design

The professional interior designer is qualified by education, experience, and examination to enhance the function and quality of interior spaces. For the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity, and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public, the professional interior designer:

l. analyzes the client's needs, goals, and life and safety requirements;

2. formulates preliminary design concepts that are appropriate, functional, and aesthetic;

3. develops and presents final design recommendations through appropriate presentation media;

4. prepares working drawings and specifications for non-load bearing interior construction, materials, finishes, space planning, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment;

5. collaborates with professional services of other licensed practitioners in the technical areas of mechanical, electrical, and load-bearing design as required for regulatory approval;

6. prepares and administers bids and contract documents as the client's agent; and

7. reviews and evaluates design solutions during implementation and upon completion

(This definition is endorsed by FIDER, the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), major interior design associations of North America, and unaffiliated professional interior designers.)

This curriculum prepares students for careers in the fields of contract and residential Interior Design. The curriculum provides a broad general foundation of academic courses and specialization in Interior Design, including courses in human environmental sciences, art, architecture, and business. Instruction and experiences foster an attitude of inquiry and learning leading to the ability to solve problems, which in itself is a definition of design. Intellectual development of the students is stimulated and leadership qualities enhanced.
