Human Nutrition

This option focuses on the field of human nutrition and reflects the growing need to prepare individuals for careers in health-related fields. This option is best suited for those students who expect to pursue advanced degrees in nutritional sciences, or professional degrees in medicine, dentistry, law, public health or veterinary medicine, and laboratory research in industry, academia, and government. It emphasizes a strong science background, and allows students to obtain a human nutrition education not available elsewhere on this campus. Graduates often find employment in food and pharmaceutical sales and some graduates are employed as nutrition educators in private practice or in public health and community center settings. However, it is recommended that students desiring a career in nutrition education and counseling in a clinical setting should choose the Dietetics option. The total number of hours required for graduation is 126.
