Historical Information

The former College of Consumer and Family Sciences enjoyed a long tradition at Purdue University. Its first iteration was the Department of Household Economics which began in 1905 within the School of Science. In 1926, the Department expanded and was established as the School of Home Economics. Finally, the School transitioned to the College of Consumer and Family Sciences in 1976, a move that significantly increased enrollment by male students. These changes in structure and name reflect the college's ability to evolve and change with the times, as well as the demands and needs of students. Today the college joins health and human sciences scholars to adress issues that are "vital to enhancing quality of life.
