Lead the Way to a Healthier Life
Nutrition science steps far beyond the food groups — drawing on biology, chemistry, economics, and other social sciences to really investigate the impact that the food we eat has on our bodies and the environment around us. The Nutrition Science program at St. Catherine University empowers you with the knowledge and skills to confidently advise consumers on major public health concerns around food, nutrition, health, and related social issues.
