Foods and Nutrition: Science

The foods and nutrition: science major is designed to prepare you for graduate school, medical or dental school or physician assistant programs, combining courses in nutrition and food science with an extremely strong science and mathematics base, including calculus, chemistry, biochemistry and physics.

The major also can be modified to focus on the sociological and psychological aspects of nutrition, preparing you for graduate school in the social sciences to study eating habits, public health, food assistance programs and serving underrepresented groups.
