School of Human Ecology

Welcome to the School of Human Ecology!

Our purpose in Human Ecology is to prepare professionals to be effective agents for the well-being of children, families and communities.

Here, our rich historic traditions blend with current academics to prepare students for diverse careers.


Five Programs of Study are available:

Child Life
Human Development and Family Science
Nutrition and Dietetics

Architecture and Interior Design
Fashion Merchandising and Design

Note: The School of Human Ecology is currently not admitting new students to its undergraduate Child Life program. We are in process of transitioning to a MS in Child Life, which is planned to start Fall 2026. For questions about this new graduate program in Child Life, please contact Dr. Cara Sisk, csisk@tntech.edu.


The faculty and staff encourage you to explore our website. If you would like an individualized advising appointment, please visit our Student Success Center.
