Home Economics Education (B.Sc. )
About this programme
The 4-year B.Ed Home Economics Education started in 1992 to meet the national need for teachers with higher academic qualification to teach in Ghanaian schools. In the 2009/2010 academic year, the University made it a policy for all Departments in the science Faculty to offer B.Sc (Bachelor of Science) Programme. Since the Department of Home Economics Education operates under the Faculty of Science Education, the contents and names of our programmes also changed to conform to the faculty’s requirements.
