1 Part5-f Pg. 1 of 11 Margaret Ritchie School of Family and Consumer Sciences Sandra Evenson, Interim Dept Head (105 Mary Hall Niccolls Family and Consumer Sciences Bldg ; phone 208/ ; famcon@uidaho.edu). Faculty: Marilyn C. Bischoff, Laurel J. Branen, Myung-Hee Chae, Michelle Eaton, Janice W. Fletcher, Kathe A. Gabel, Madeline Dellwo Houghton, Virginia W. Junk, Sandra M. McCurdy, Katie R. Miner, Suzanne M. Planck, Elizabeth A. Price, Martha A. Raidl, Cynthia J. Schmiege, Harriet L. Shaklee, Lindsey A. Shirley. Adjunct Faculty: A. Larry Branen, Judith Brown, Mimi Hartman, Arlinda K. Nauman. Family and consumer sciences focuses on the relationships, resources, and services contributing to individual and family well being. The discipline analyzes the needs of individuals and families using social, psychological, physical, biological, economic, and aesthetic theories and concepts. Three majors leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences (B.S.F.C.S.) are offered by the School of Family and Consumer Sciences and are designed to meet professional and individual goals of students. These are: (1) child, family, and consumer studies, (2) food and nutrition, and (3) clothing, textiles and design. Students may choose one of three program options in the child, family, and consumer studies major. Child development/family relations focuses on the normal, healthy development of children and families. Family Life offers a general preparation in Family and Consumer Sciences that provides a foundation for further specialization. Family and consumer sciences education prepares students for teaching in the public schools, in community settings, or business audiences. Graduates of the major include day care managers, family advocates, accredited financial counselors, extension educators, and teachers. The food and nutrition major offers the dietetics and nutrition options. The Coordinated Program in Dietetics includes a senior year experience in Spokane where students complete a supervised practicum in community and medical center settings. This program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606, 312/ , ext After successful completion of the program, students can take the national registration exam to become Registered Dietitians. The nutrition option prepares students for careers with government agencies, commodity groups, health and fitness agencies and businesses, and some components of the food industry. In addition, the course work would provide excellent background for those wishing to pursue advanced degrees in medicine or nutrition. The first two years of courses are very similar in these two options. Students apply for acceptance into the Coordinated Program in Dietetics at the end of the sophomore year. The clothing, textiles, and design major offers both apparel design and fashion merchandising emphases. Combining courses from art or business with the clothing, textile, and design courses offered in the school prepares students for careers in retail and wholesale sectors of the apparel and textile industries. Designers, product development specialists, retail buyers and managers, and merchandise managers are some of the career titles held by UI graduates. The Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Development and Education is offered jointly between the College of Education and the School of Family and Consumer Sciences. Coursework will prepare students to be recommended for Idaho Early Childhood Education/Early Childhood Special Education (ECE/ECSE) Blended Teacher Certification. Students will be certified to teach children birth through grade three. The Margaret Ritchie School of Family and Consumer Sciences offers graduate course work and research opportunities concerning individuals and families across their life spans. An integrated approach prepares students for the complexities of our global society through the analysis and application of relevant theories, practices, and research. Issues important to individuals and families, such as human development, consumption, resource management, education, aesthetics, and public policy, are studied in the context of cultural and physical environments. Graduate students apply communication, analytical, evaluation, and synthesis skills to the study of families and consumers through classroom, practica, and research experiences. The school's Child Development Laboratory provides a special resource for both teaching and research activities. Internships in community agencies and business, practica in teaching and supervision, and graduate teaching and research assistantships also provide valuable graduate student experiences. Graduate student research is closely aligned with faculty interests that currently include work and family, quality child care, feeding young children, at-risk youth, financial management through the life span, sports nutrition, family and consumer sciences education, international textile trade patterns, and cultural aspects of dress. The program prepares students to be teachers in the public schools and community colleges; child or human development specialists in public and private organizations such as nonprofit and social services agencies, hospitals, child care centers, and the extension system; and for the future pursuit of the Ph.D. degree in family and consumer sciences, social work, education, or related fields. The Margaret Ritchie School of Family and Consumer Sciences has an outstanding scholarship program for entering first-year students, continuing undergraduate majors, and graduate students. Most scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence regardless of financial need. Courses See Part 6 for courses in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS).

Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Kerry Paul Reese, Dept. Head (104 CNR Bldg ; phone 208/ ; fish_wildlife@uidaho.edu). Faculty: Cort L. Anderson, Kenneth D. Cain, James L. Congleton, Brian C. Dennis, Edward O. Garton, Brian P. Kennedy, Christine M. Moffitt, Christopher A. Peery, Janet L. Rachlow, Kerry P. Reese, Dennis L. Scarnecchia, J. Michael Scott, Kerri T. Vierling, Lisette P. Waits, Frank M. Wilhelm. Fish and wildlife resources deals with the application of principles of biology and ecology to the understanding of how fish and wildlife populations interact with each other and with their environment, which includes humans. There are four areas of emphasis within the department: aquaculture, fisheries, wildlife, and conservation genetics. Persons interested in aquaculture or fisheries can design their major within the B.S. in Fishery Resources and those interested in wildlife, within the B.S. in Wildlife Resources. Conservation genetics courses may be incorporated into either degree. Fishery biologists and scientists conduct research or apply management principles to aquatic ecosystems. They may become involved with biological monitoring, environmental impact assessment, maintenance of endangered fish, hatchery operation, commercial fish farming, control and prevention of fish diseases, and management of stream or lake ecosystems. Wildlife biologists, or managers, attempt to maintain adequate populations of game and nongame wildlife species. This involves studying wildlife and its habitat so that management programs can be biologically based. The job often involves coordinating wildlife management programs with other natural resource activities such as forest management, range management, and land use planning. Both professions offer opportunities in law enforcement, communications, and public relations. A common saying, and one with a great deal of truth, is that fish or wildlife management is largely people management. Bachelor of Science degrees are offered in fishery resources and wildlife resources. In the fishery resources degree, students may design a program that emphasizes fisheries ecology, aquatic ecology, aquaculture, or fisheries management. In the wildlife resources degree, the program emphasizes the principles of wildlife ecology, population dynamics, and management. Elective courses in all programs provide an opportunity to gain additional knowledge in a special area of interest or to broaden into other fields. To ensure that the student gains practical experience, one season of approved work experience before graduation is required. For information on the NRECB program, see the section on "Natural Resources." Fish and wildlife graduates find employment with numerous federal and state agencies, educational institutions, and in the private sector. These include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, state fish and game or conservation departments, tribal agencies, and private organizations such as power companies, commercial fish growers, consulting agencies, and non-profit organizations. Recent surveys have shown that fish and wildlife baccalaureate graduates of UI obtain employment at a rate considerably above the national average. The graduate program is offered to meet the needs of students who are interested in either specialized or generalized advanced study. Because specific requirements for each degree are determined by the student's supervisory committee, individual study plans allow for differences in preparation while providing all students with a comparable background by the time the graduate program is completed. In addition to the admission requirements of the College of Graduate Studies, the prospective student should have maintained a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) during the undergraduate program. Acceptance of students who do not have this minimum grade-point average or other stated requirements is possible, subject to recommendation by the department head and approval of the College of Graduate Studies. The decision will be based on an analysis of the applicant's

8 Part5-f Pg. 8 of 11 situation. The Graduate Record Examination is required for admission. At least one summer's experience with a natural resource agency is strongly recommended. The graduate program in fishery resources is oriented toward the applied and basic aspects of fishery management, aquatic ecology, and fish health management. The fishery management area includes population analysis, management systems, and environmental stresses; the aquatic ecology area includes limnology and habitat management; and the fish health management area includes finfish culture (coldwater and warmwater), fish disease diagnostics and epidemiology, and fish physiology. The Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and the Aquaculture Research Institute also provide important opportunities for graduate studies in fishery resources and aquaculture. Students planning to begin graduate studies in fishery resources should have a broad background in the life sciences with specific emphasis on courses in the fishery sciences. They should also have a background in quantitative data processing and communication, both oral and written. Admission to the graduate program in wildlife resources requires an undergraduate degree with a major in wildlife resources or a closely related field emphasizing the principles of wildlife ecology, population dynamics, and management. Students with differing backgrounds are also admitted if they have substantial preparation in the biological and physical sciences. Candidates must fulfill entrance requirements of the Graduate College and of the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Graduate work in wildlife resources offers students the opportunity to do research in one of several areas including wildlife behavior, predator ecology, population dynamics, habitat relationships, and conservation biology, as well as big game, nongame, upland game, and waterfowl management. Students are encouraged to select topics that will benefit some portion of the wildlife program at the state or national level. Graduate projects in wildlife resources may be developed in cooperation with the Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, an active participant in the department and the overall research program of the college. In addition to the requirements listed above, graduate admission is based on the compatibility of the student's research interests with the areas of concentration in the department and the availability of research faculty. The research mission of the department is attainment of new knowledge and the understanding of natural resources, their interrelationships and uses. The objectives of the research program are to attain knowledge of the environment and to develop management alternatives that will assist in the conservation of resources while meeting society's needs. The dissemination of this knowledge through publications, continuing education, and other channels of communication is an essential departmental function.
