Nutrition Minor
Food and nutrition are an integral part of health promotion, disease prevention and our health care system. The roles they play in our lives range from fueling our bodies to providing the backdrop for our social interactions.
With a Nutrition minor, you will gain a knowledge base that will enhance future work in a community, school (classroom teaching), work site or research setting.
You'll be prepared to promote sound, evidence-based nutrition principles to physically and culturally diverse clients as well as make referrals to registered dietitians when necessary. You will also learn the principles of nutrition research and current topics within the field.
