College of Human Sciences
 

With a name like that you would assume it would include anthropology, sociology, women's studies, poli sci, African American studies, American Indian studies, etc.

But it doesnt.

Damn we got some stoopid faculty working on this name change.

What DOES it focus on? :)

Re: College of Human Sciences
 

Don't they call that College of Social Science?

Haha...my major is under Auburn's College of Human Sciences, which include:

Interior Design
Apparel Merchandising
Hotel Resturant Management
Human Development and Family Studies (my major)
Nutrition

Human Sciences as a field of study was established inthe late 19th century. Its purpose was to address human needs by applyingscientific principles to solve the practical problems of everydaylife. What makes the College of Human Sciences at Auburn University(CHS@AU) unique today comes out of that same tradition of putting "people first" and integrating science-based skills with human-based values. Indeed, it is pursuing Science for a Quality Life.

When you think about it, the majors do have things in common.

We've got:
Textile Design and Marketing
Human Development and Family Studies
Nutrition
Interior Architecture
Social Work

All of these fall under the School of Human Environmental Sciences.

It's the proposed name (which just passed by one vote, apparently) of the new college at Iowa State which will combine the college of Family and Consumer Sciences and the college of Education in order to cut spending.

Some majors are:
Early Childhood Education
Elementary Education
Secondary Education
Health and Human Performance
Apparel and Merchandising
Home Economics
Hotel and Restaurant Management
Textiles and Clothing
Human Development and Family Studies

Personally, I think they're losing more academically than gaining financially by combining the two colleges, but that's already been decided.

What is that? Interior Design?

For me I think that a university-wide consideration of department groupings for colleges should be considered. There are a few departments here and there that would seem more appropriate in a different college (Comp Sci is LAS when it seems more logical to be placed in Engineering)

could be Interior design with an emphasis on the development and utilization of space

The best name anyone I have talked to has suggested:

The College of Not-Ag-Not-Business-Not-Design-Not-Engineering-Not-LAS-Not-VetMed

Don't ask me why but when I saw the heading for this thread, it reminded me of those ads on the subway for non-acredited schools offering social work-related courses that people try to pass off as having a real Master's degree from but it is so not.

Yeah...it's pretty much Interior Design, but with more space discussions and more structures classes. There are only a handful of schools with Interior Architecture programs.

It seems really random to me to put Interior Design/Architecture in the College of Human Sciences if there's a school of Architecture. :confused:

Nah, Comp Sci is too light to be in Engineering. You have to have something still kind of tech-y for those who can't hack it in the Enginerding school. ;)

Plus, strictly speaking, comp sci and computer systems engineering are different fields of study, and while they share resources, combining them would be like combining chemistry and chemical engineering, in a sense.

Some school actually put Architecture (and Landscape Arch) school into College of Science. I believe Clemson U is one of them.

BTW, Munchkin03, you went to Brown, right? Do y'all have architecture school? I need some clarification since supposedly one of our famous alumni, Raymond Hood, was supposed to graduate from Brown and then designed Chicago Tribune in Chicago and Rockefeller Center in NYC, but last time I checked, there is no Architecture school in Brown. :confused:

I think that is a pretty dumb name for that school and I've yet to find anyone who really agrees with the name. The best that I heard was College of Education and Family Sciences - but that probably wouldn't have conveyed whatever they wanted. What did it beat out by one vote?
Doesn't Industrial Tech fall under this college too as it used to be part of the College of Ed (I believe)? So was Sports Management, how are those Human Sciences?

This straight from the horse's mouth (the horse being my computer engineer husband): Computer Science deals almost exclusively with programming and software whereas computer engineering also deals with hardware. AND he says because Comp Sci deals with "Computer and Information Sciences or related areas" and "Parallel and Distributed Computing, Networks, Information Systems, and related areas" it has more to do with IT than engineering.

That is why it is in LAS.

this exceeds the maximum nerd level i'm willing to allow, sorry

This sounds about right... it's a 5 year program.

The quotes I took straight from the Comp Sci website. I'm a JLMC grad, the huzbin's the big enginerd. Which is fine by me because he buys me pretty things with his big enginerd's salary. I'm even willing to overlook his being an Iowa fan for that.

I'm willing to allow his marrying an iowa state fan b/c he's an Iowa fan. compromise is beautiful!

I know.

Just clarifying.

Dammit. You know what I hate about living on this side of the state, you get "In heaven there is no beer" stuck in your head. For hours.

And it's so on tomorrow night.

during the wayne morgan era . . .

at hilton: 31-1
away from hilton: 3-18


and when we're gone from here, all our friends will be drinking all the beer

That's exactly how our school is.

Yes, Raymond Hood went to Brown when it had a separate school of Architecture. They phased the school out when RISD was founded, however.

I took my studios at RISD, and did a study abroad program with Cornell's School of Architecture--and took my Arch Theory and Liberal Arts classes at Brown. That's how I'm able to say I majored in Architecture at Brown.

My degree was under Texas Tech's College of Human Sciences which is very similar to Auburn's.

College of Human Sciences include:
Applied and Professional Studies
--Family & Consumer Sciences Education
--Family & Marriage Therapy
--Personal Financial Planning
--Substance Abuse Studies

Department of Design
--Apparel Design & Manufacturing
--Interior Design

Human Development & Family Studies
--Early Childhood
--Human Development Family Studies

Nutrition, Hospitality, & Retailing
--Retailing
--Food & Nutrition
--Restaurant, Hotel & Institutional Mgmt. (my degree)

I just took all this info off of Texas Tech's website. My how the names have changed in the 3 years I've been gone!!!
