The department is really divided into two sections: Foods and Social Science courses

The Foods program at Earl is likely the best in the city. These courses are extremely popular because of the real life skills and hands-on experience they provide. In addition to cooking and eating delicious food twice a week, students in the course learn all about the role of nutrition in health and disease, food security, and sustainability and environmental responsibility.

The Social Science sections allow for students to have a variety of learning opportunities. Social Justice and World Religions both allow students to learn more about the world around them and gain a greater perspective on life. Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology allows students to delve into a greater understanding of humanity. Family Studies gives students a chance to prepare themselves for many of the realistic issues they will face in the future.
