The Nutrition Science B.S. entails the study of how nutrition affects health and disease. It involves understanding the components of food and their impact on the body. The program provides hands-on learning experiences and a solid foundation in advanced biology and biochemistry, preparing graduates for careers in medical science, advanced science degrees, public health, food research, and communication. The curriculum combines the requirements for admission to medicine and other related fields with a strong focus on nutrition and its role in preventing and treating disease. It integrates nutrition with physical and life sciences to give students a comprehensive understanding of the role of nutrients in metabolism.
Students in this major program will also select one of the five following specialty tracks: pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-optometry, pre-physician assistant, or broad scientific exploration. Graduates of these specializations will have the experience and knowledge necessary to excel in graduate-level study as well as several related careers without further study.
If you are interested in a Nutrition Sciences major, you must take the Chemistry Placement Exam (CPE) online. The results of the CPE will determine your placement level for your first chemistry course. For more details on the CPE, contact the Department of Chemistry at (812) 855-2700.
