The Nutritional Sciences Major provides a strong foundation in human nutrition. All students take the same core, but students may use their elective courses to focus on an area of interest such as basic nutritional sciences, population and public health nutrition, and international nutrition. Graduates of the Nutritional Sciences Major can pursue advanced degrees or work in research related to health sciences, nutrition, and in public and private organizations related to health promotion.
