Jointly sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Nursing, the second major in Nutrition Science builds on a student's basic science skills with a deep dive into the science of nutrition. Linkages of nutritional compounds and dietary approaches with health and disease, novel approaches to the study of nutritional impact on health, and future avenues of exploration in the field are examined. Elective courses in anthropology, biology, economics, physiology, psychology, health care, and public policy provide a rounded context for the study of nutrition science.
The minimum total course units for graduation in this major is 34. Double majors may entail more course units.
