Biographical / Historical
The foundation for the establishment of the College of Human Development and Education was laid 100 years before, in 1892. In the first North Dakota Agricultural College catalog, published in 1892, a winter course in domestic economy was offered. By 1893, a Department of Domestic Economy had been established and in 1898, the department was called the Department of Household Economy, to reflect its emphasis. In 1902, the Department was renamed Household Economics and renamed again in 1904 to Domestic Science. As of 1910, it was the Department of Home Economics. The Department continued to grow and in 1917 when Schools were formed, Home Economics was one of the six Schools at the College. With the change of names in 1960 from North Dakota Agricultural College to North Dakota State University, the School of Home Economics became the College of Home Economics. The next major change occurred in July, 1992, when the College of Home Economics became the College of Human Development and Education. This change combined the School of Education, the College of Home Economics, and the Division of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. The five academic units within the college were: Apparel, Textiles, and Interior Design; Child Development and Family Science; Education; Food and Nutrition; and Health, Physical Education, and Recreation.
As of 2006, there were four units within the college: Apparel, Design, Facility and Hospitality Management [name changed from Apparel, Textiles, and Interior Design in 2001/2002]; Child Development and Family Science; Education; and Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences, [merged food and nutrition and health, physical education, and recreation in 2001].
The College decided to change the name to the College of Human Sciences and Education to better describe the college. The new name went into effect July 1, 2019. The purpose of the change is twofold. First, Human Sciences is more inclusive of the programs offered within the College. Second, the change follows national trends.
The College of Human Sciences and Education (HSE) at North Dakota State University offers 9 undergraduate majors plus 18 teaching specialties, and graduate study at the Master's, Specialist, Certificate and Doctoral levels. Several of our undergraduate and graduate programs are web-based, making it possible for students to complete their program from anywhere in the world. The Center for 4-H Youth Development offers learning opportunities outside the classroom across the state. Through 4-H programming we reach over 25,250 North Dakota youth.
Classroom and hands-on experience are provided to promote learning. Students in all HSE programs have the opportunity to participate in experiential learning experiences, such as internships, practicum and student teaching. These experiences allow students to apply their classroom learning in real-life situations.
