Home economists examine theories, research, and practices related to the quality of life in homes. The bachelor's degree is an interdisciplinary program that provides opportunity to study many facets of home and family living that require linking principles of home and family to education, business, communication, government, and other agencies.
The home and family/home economics degree is for those who do not desire to complete educational certification.
The home economics education degree is a course of study aimed at educational certification to teach family and consumer science courses at the secondary level.
The major trains both men and women for professions in a ready job market that hires those who can link principles of home and family to education, business, communication, government, and other agencies. Educational certification leads to a career teaching family and consumer sciences in secondary schools. If desired, a choice of occupational endorsement and internships can be selected.

The discipline examines theories, research, and practices related to the quality of life in families. The bachelor's degree, which prepares students to write and think analytically about family and society, can be a broad liberal arts major, can be a means to teacher certification, or can be a preprofessional degree for social sciences graduate study. The school's philosophy is that societal and community health centers around families.
Family scholarship provides (1) frameworks by which human development and family behavior can be explained, (2) applications of principles and skills that contribute to quality family relationships and appropriate use of family resources, and (3) research that addresses optimal human development, the wise use of family resources, and the well-being of family members.
Majors in marriage, family, and human development and in the social sciences generally can be employed in settings where knowledge of human behavior, interpersonal competence, and personal use of resources is essential. However, graduate study is necessary for the most attractive opportunities within the profession. Graduates learn principles applicable to their personal as well as professional lives. The BS degree can be a springboard into graduate studies in the social sciences, law, home economics, and business.
Students who plan to pursue graduate work in family or human development at BYU or other universities should take a statistics course. Students considering graduate work in marriage and family therapy are encouraged to consult with the graduate secretary of that program regarding the other electives that will best prepare them for admission to a graduate degree program. Generally, students will want to take statistics (and become familiar with computer statistical programs), research methods, family systems, abnormal psychology, and a pre-MFT seminar.
