Nutrition in Health and Human Sciences – Biomedical Nutrition Science Concentration

The Nutrition major is designed for students interested in basic and applied sciences, and students are able to pursue one of three concentrations: the Biomedical Nutrition Science Concentration, the Community Nutrition Concentration, or the Dietetics Concentration. The Biomedical Nutrition Science Concentration of the Nutrition Major prepares students for graduate study in biological and health sciences or for health professional programs, such as pharmacy and medicine. This concentration also prepares students for careers as laboratory technicians, research assistants, technical consultants, and sales representatives in the biomedical and nutrition industries. Additional coursework may be is necessary to meet health professional program prerequisites and integration of this coursework should be coordinated closely with the academic advisor and/or pre-health advising as these requirements will vary by program. Students completing this track are not eligible to apply to any ACEND-accredited supervised practice programs.
