Majors in the Norton School of Human Ecology

At the Norton School of Human Ecology, we strive to solve real world problems that our communities face through research and academic programs dedicated to blurring the lines between science and society. Through our research and expertise, we aim to empower students to become changemakers in their community in any of our distinct disciplinary programs:

  • In Family Studies & Human Development students focus on basic and applied research to better understand human development and family relations across the life span. 
  • In Personal & Family Financial Planning students acquire skills to assist individuals and families attain their financial goals and enter careers in financial services, financial advising, wealth management, and financial planning. 
  • In Retailing & Consumer Science students prepare for management careers in retail merchandising, buying, marketing, operations, and new product development. 
  • In Fashion Industry’s Science & Technology students learn the business of fashion and prepare for careers in the fashion industry.

This year we are happy to welcome our newest major, Fashion Industry’s Science and Technology, along with our brand-new Sewing Lab which will become an instrumental part in helping students obtain hands-on experience in the world of textiles, patternmaking, and apparel management.
