A healthy lifestyle, including a holistic approach to food and exercise, is encouraged for people to lead a robust life. An evidence-based approach to health and wellness is important to balance the abundance of information surrounding this topic and to encourage lifelong learning. Saint Louis University's Nutrition, Health and Wellness Minor aligns with the Jesuit principle of cura personalis – the development of a whole person, mind, body and spirit.
This interdisciplinary 15-credit minor provides a nutrition, health and wellness emphasis. Foundations in Nutrition (DIET 2080) is a prerequisite for Nutrition in the Lifecycle (DIET 2100); other courses may be taken in any sequence. Students are required to gather representative works from each course in the minor and assemble them into a portfolio.
