Description:
Human Ecology is an interdisciplinary applied field that uses a holistic ecosystems approach to help people solve problems and enhance human potential within their near environments – through clothing, family, home and community. Human Ecologists study and practice concepts of well-being in everyday life alongside global considerations, acknowledging the importance of interactions between humans and all types of environments.
The Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology/Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Combined Degrees program provides a five-year integrated program of 150 credits.
