Nutritional Sciences offers a dynamic and rigorous field of study that spans multiple disciplines. Grasping how nutrition affects health and contributes to disease requires knowledge of metabolic functions (nutrient needs and usage, food additive processing and safety), food chemistry (preservation methods, production techniques), and social influences (factors shaping dietary choices). This program blends physical, biological, and social sciences to address global objectives of promoting health through balanced nutrition.
Advanced education is typically necessary for careers in Nutritional Sciences. The Major Program serves as strong groundwork for pursuing graduate research in nutrition or entering professional schools like Medicine and Dentistry.
