Additional information
Program description
The BS program in applied nutrition and health introduces students to nutrition principles, along with essential skills in communication, leadership and community engagement, to develop and apply innovative solutions to health concerns across populations.
Coursework includes fundamentals of nutrition, including macro- and micronutrients and developing nutrition care plans, while also delving into food sustainability, cultural aspects of food and health, food safety, and food and health policy --- all of which prepare graduates to apply nutrition expertise to a variety of careers. Students also engage in experiential learning with community partners specializing in food and nutrition to gain real-world experience, develop professional relationships and establish a foundation for their future goals.
Students complete 18 credit hours of focus area courses in community nutrition, food service operations or pre-dietetics to align with their interests and professional goals. In community nutrition, students delve into strategies for promoting health and wellness within communities and through evidence-based social media presence to address critical public health issues. Food service operations courses teach principles of management, strategy, supply chain management and entrepreneurship in food and nutrition. For students interested in becoming registered dietitians, the pre-dietetics focus offers the additional science and leadership courses required for dietetics-focused graduate programs.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Global opportunities
