The Nutrition Program is built upon comprehensive studies in nutrition along with connected biological, physical, and social sciences. Special focus is placed on fostering innovative thinking in nutrition research. Each student receives a customized course plan, incorporating essential core requirements, designed by an advisory committee. Research initiatives vary widely, reflecting the diverse expertise of the Nutrition faculty, spanning from molecular investigations to whole-animal studies, and from individual-focused to community-based approaches. Nutrition majors are associated with and located in one of the departments mentioned earlier. The selection of both department and faculty advisor is guided by the student's research focus. Research projects primarily concentrate on nutritional biochemistry, experimental animal nutrition (including species like horses, ruminants, swine, poultry, rodents, and others), or community nutrition and public health.
