Description

This degree provides a valuable foundation for a variety of careers that involve principles of nutrition; however, it does not prepare students to become a registered dietitian.

The BS program in nutrition provides students with the ability to apply nutrition principles in a variety of fields.

Food and nutrition management - Students develop an understanding of the food industry, learn to manage and market food, and develop a food or menu that meets a specific nutritional guideline, preparing them to apply their knowledge to food production.

Nutrition communication - Students become experts in communicating health and nutrition information through nutrition courses that provide content for the articles students write in their communication-related studies. This track provides students with a strong understanding of the scientific method, statistics, nutrition, health care and wellness that some traditional journalists might lack.

Food studies - Students gain knowledge in all aspects of food and food production through a strong foundation in nutrition, food systems and food marketing.
