About the Department

Mabuhay and welcome to our online home! As the Chairperson of the Department of Home Economics Education (DHEEd), I am honored to lead a community with a legacy dating back to 1921. Since our founding as the pioneering department of the College of Home Economics, we have remained steadfast in our belief that the family is the primary social institution and the foundation of a good society. My personal conviction, shared by our "young and vibrant" team, is that our work transcends the classroom; it is a vital mission focused on the good of humanity.

At the DHEEd, we envision ourselves as value-laden and impactful leaders in the field. Our core mission is to empower Filipino families and consumers by utilizing home economics knowledge and skills through quality education, transformative research, and dedicated public service. In a society facing complex social and economic shifts, we do not merely teach skills; we practice a mission-oriented discipline that bridges the gap between macro-level policies and the micro-level realities of day-to-day living. We see ourselves as stewards of the Filipino family, dedicated to empowering individuals and consumers to navigate life by focusing on the interaction between the material and relational aspects through competencies in managing the resources at our disposal, no matter how big or small.

Whether you are a prospective student, a researcher, or a community partner, we invite you to explore our website to discover more about our vibrant academic environment.
