Additional Information

Secondary Math Requirement Update: Two more statistics courses have been added on as options to complete your second math requirement as an HDFS Major (The first Math requirement being SDS 302F). SDS 320E and SDS 322E are allowed to count for your second math requirement along with the original M 408N, M 408R, M 408C, or SDS 324E options.

HDF 340 No Longer Offered: HDF 340 (A required course for those on the 2020-2022 catalogs and earlier) is no longer offered. This course has been replaced by the Human Ecology Sequence, which consists of HE 101P, HE 102P, and HE 103P. If your degree plan requires HDF 340, you MUST take all three classes in this series in order to finish that requirement.

If you are on the 2022-2024 catalog or later, you will take the Human Ecology series as outlined on your degree plan.
