The nutritional sciences major explores links between eating habits, nutrition status and wellbeing, using chemistry, biology and social science. It asks how the body uses nutrients, what shapes food choice and which dietary patterns promote health or lower chronic disease risk.
Students may complete the coursework that forms the classroom portion of dietetics training for registered dietitians, with careers in counseling, clinical or sports nutrition and food service administration. The major also prepares students for medical school and other graduate study. The Division of Nutritional Sciences runs it, and every major requirement must carry a letter grade.
Prospective students should consult the relevant college and department about admission, advising and course sequencing, because this catalog entry concentrates on the academic content and standards of the major rather than on costs, deadlines or entrance requirements. Course plans, advising and honors options differ by college, so confirm details with the department.
