- Abstract
Home management courses, and the houses where those course principles and practices were applied, played an historical role in the home economics curriculum in the United States from the 1920s to the 1980s. The residence course was taught in a variety of settings. However, the course was taught most often in houses located on campus. Using multiple research methods, this study explored home management courses and residences at the University of Georgia and Texas Tech University. Part I which was published in the March issue of the Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal provided a general historical overview and a case study of the home management houses at Kansas State University. Eventually, the home management houses were repurposed to meet changing academic, research, and public service needs over their decades‐long history. Opportunities for future research are explored.
