The College of Human Ecology is dedicated to excellence in professional academic education
and integrates Scholarship in Action as a philosophy and method in all of its degree programs.
The college brings together a rich history of academic programs whose signatures of social
responsibility and justice join new and evolving majors reflective of educating global citizens
whose leadership can-and does-change the places and peoples where they live and work.


Previously known as the College of Human Services and Health Professions until it was
renamed in 2007, the College of Human Ecology hosts seven departments with strong roots in
Syracuse University history. They are the Child and Family Studies; Health and Wellness;
Hospitality Management; Marriage and Family Therapy; Nutrition Science and Dietetics;
Sport Management; and the School of Social Work.
