Home Economics (Double Major) is a versatile undergraduate programme that equips students with in-depth knowledge across two specialised areas, typically combining disciplines such as Food and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, Home Management, or Consumer Education. Students develop practical and theoretical competencies in food science, family resource management, textile production, and entrepreneurship, preparing them for diverse professional roles. Graduates of this programme pursue rewarding careers as nutritionists, home economists in public health agencies, fashion and textile entrepreneurs, and consumer affairs officers in government ministries. Those specialising in nutrition may align with the Nutrition Society of Nigeria, while textile-focused graduates often connect with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council. The double major structure broadens graduates' employability and positions them competitively across education, healthcare, hospitality, and the growing Nigerian fashion industry.
