Name
A common term for the field of study and profession is Home Economics, although human ecology is a recognized variant for the field of study, in particular at the post-secondary level.
Home economics has a strong historical relationship to the field of human ecology, and since the 1960's a number of university-level home economics programs have been renamed "human ecology" programs, including Cornell University's program, among others.
