The program concentrates on preventing lifestyle-related illnesses, with special attention to nutrition and dietary habits. Foundational courses highlight how nutrients interact with biochemistry, genetics, physiology, anatomy, microbiology, and immunology to influence health, disease prevention, and longevity. This major also serves as strong preparation for graduate studies in biological, nutritional, or food sciences, as well as professional programs in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistant studies, physical therapy, nursing, public health, and other healthcare fields, including dietetic internships.
