CHE Live Events (online)
Our CHE Live (online) Events have wrapped up for the 2021 admissions cycle. Many thanks to those of you who attended for making these sessions interactive and engaging.
Our offerings for the Fall 2022 admissions cycle have not yet been planned but will be posted here once we have more information. In the meantime, continue to get to know us with the following online resources.
- watch our recorded College of Human Ecology information sessions and tour and Q&A with CHE's Director of Admissions, Student, and Career Development. University tours and information sessions are also available online.
- read our major specific fact sheets for an in-depth overview, sample courses, and information about research, experiential opportunities, and career pathways. Curriculum sheets (2020-2021 versions) provide additional details about coursework by major.
- email our Admissions Staff for questions about the College and the admissions process. Email our Human Ecology Ambassadors with questions about student life (available during academic semesters only).
- visit MeetEzra for frequently asked questions about undergraduate admissions.
- join the University's contact list to receive emails, electronic invitations to programs, and important admission updates. Select “Human Ecology” in the "College Interests" section at the bottom of the form.
Contacting faculty and academic departments directly is strongly discouraged unless you are interested in our design majors. Those interested in Design + Environmental Analysis can email the D+EA Academic Program Coordinator with questions; those interested in Fashion Design & Management can email the department with questions.
The College of Human Ecology Admissions Office offers the best context for program/major, college, and admissions information regardless of your major of interest.
