As a department of Mountain State Agricultural College (MSAC) in 1959 the first baccaulaureate course was in Agricultural Home Making (BSAH), which was later changed in Bachelor of Science in Home Economics. The Department was first headed by Prof. Celerina Villa, followed by Dr. Josefina R. Alonzo and Dr. Rosa C. Abastilla.
In a series of development planning activities made under the leadership of Dr. Fortunato A. Battad in 1984, the Department of Home Technology was changed to the Department of Home Economics under the College of Teacher Education. Resolution No. 206 s. 1988 of the Benguet State University Board of Regents created the College of Home Economics and Technology. The first College Dean was Dr. Rosa C. Abastilla, who was succeeded by Prof Lory C. Balaoing, Dr. Josefina R. Alonzo and Dr. Jane K. Avila.
At present, the College is headed by Dr. Maria Corazon A. Somyden. The CHET has two departments, the Department of Home Economics and the Department of Human Nutrition and Foods each of which is headed by a chair. For extension, research, production, and student affairs, a coordinated for each is designated.
In 1989, a Certificate course in Home Management Arts was offered to cater to students who cannot pursue a college degree. This was later upgraded into a 2-year Associate in Entrepreneurial Technology, ladderized to Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurial Technology.
