Stevens Point Normal Domestic Science Overview
 he College of Professional Studies became the new home for the Home
Economics programs during this decade after Chancellor Dryfus reorganized the University. The College also
held programs in education and communicative disorders. In the process, home economics became a School. The
Home Economics program moved into the new College of Professional Studies Building in 1971.
This was another decade of growth with enrollment doubling for the second decade in a row. By 1979 there
were over 100 home economics graduates a year.

The curriculum also expanded as separate programs were created: Home Economics in Business with options in
Fashion Merchandising, Housing and Interiors, Communication, and Food & Equipment; Early Childhood Education
with options in home economics or education; traditional or coordinated Dietetics; and a master's degree in
Nutrition and Food Science. Along with the specialization, the vintage major in Home Economics General was
discontinued.

Fay Clifford retired and many new faculty were hired, including Ruth Sylvester, Anita Barsness, and Grace
Hendel
in 1971, Barbara Bieler in 1974, Pam Kemp and Diane Libby Witte in 1977, and Lynn Gilles in 1979.
1979 was the last year that the home management house was used.
