environment; to have the necessary skills and competencies
to participate in development programs as well as teaching
and research on human-environment interaction; and to
internalize and apply the ecological perspective to society's
problems.
The program has 3 major options:
(a) Family Development - focuses on the development
of the individuals and families as they transact,
relate and adapt to the environment.
OBJECTIVES
The College aims to:
1. provide an ecologically-oriented unit at UPLB which
focuses on identification of enabling mechanisms
for the fulfillment of basic human needs, resource
planning utilization and management and delivery
of social services at the family and community
levels; and
(b) Human Settlements Planning - focuses on design
and implementation of plans which will ensure the
long-term sustainability of community and
environmental resources while providing optimum
development benefits to rural and urban communities.
(c) Social Technology - focuses on the various social
development services and is concerned with the
tools and techniques of effecting self-propelling
communities and sustainable development.
2. develop programs for research, training and community
service towards a desirable quality of life.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Bachelor of Science in Nutrition
This program aims to produce professionals competent
in providing nutritional services to people. Specifically, the
Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology
student will be trained to (a) manage community nutrition
programs; (b) assist in planning and evaluation of food and
The program aims to produce key professionals who
can contribute to the improvement of human welfare.
Specifically, the student is trained to understand human
development in relation to the biophysical and social
nutrition programs at macrolevels; (c) operate food service in
institutions and communities; (d) plan and prepare therapeutic
diets; (e) train nutrition workers and (f) conduct research in
nutrition and related fields.
