This program also prepares students to engage in further study for research careers in nutrition.

These multifaceted issues require coursework in nutrition science, nutrition education, nutritional assessment, nutrition program development, and nutrition research methods. Students will have opportunities to learn about global nutrition, food safety and security, weight management, and the fundamentals of cooking. Graduates able to develop appropriate interventions tailored to individuals, communities, and different cultural, gender, and age groups are expected to be in high demand in this rapidly-growing field.
