The Department of Home Economics is based on a rich tradition that began nearly one hundred years ago at the very inception of Ricks College. This tradition is based on the unchanging concept within the Church that the home is the most important institution in the world, thus stressing that skills essential to home building remain a priority even today.
The central purpose of the Home Economics Department is to provide training in the application of principles declared in the "Proclamation for the Family" whereby wholesome home and family environment might be achieved.
Theory is taught in lecture classes. However, the Department is unique in that it offers labs in which to practice and develop skill in those principles. Refer to the list of services courses which follows. Students are sought out and do well in colleges to which they transfer. A complete array of lower division classes exist for those who plan to transfer to another institution to continue their education in Pre-Dietetics, Culinary Arts, General Home Economics, Home Economics Education, Fashion, and Interior Design.
Students are also well prepared for jobs in specialized areas. Two year specialized degrees are offered in Culinary Arts and Fashion. A three year degree Professional Associate degree is available in Interior Design (F.I.D.E.R. accredited).

They may work in a variety of settings such as: Healthcare facilities doing nutrition counseling or working in food service management in the community; in public and home health agencies; in government-funded programs that feed and counsel families; in colleges and universities teaching future health care workers; in research or as a consultant dietitian working full or part time in their own private practice.
