HN Department Overview
Welcome to The Ohio State University Department of Human Nutrition
Thank you for visiting our website! This is a particularly exciting time for nutritionists since so many individuals are taking responsibility for maintaining and enhancing their health. We are committed to the discovery of new information about the relationships between diet, physical activity, health and disease and the application of such knowledge to individuals, communities and entire populations. Our program is fortunate to have an enthusiastic and well respected faculty committed to sharing their intellectual passion and technical expertise with students. Our undergraduate and graduate students are dedicated and eager to learn the necessary conceptual, technical and communication skills for enjoyable and productive careers. We also have a very talented staff. We welcome all students who wish to join us in this integrated discipline focused on the role of diet in the prevention and treatment of disease. Detailed information about the various academic programs and faculty research programs is provided in the various sections of the website. I encourage you to read the next several pages that serve as a primer on modern nutrition science and our department. Please contact or plan to visit us if we can provide further information about opportunities in this important discipline that bridges the basic and applied sciences.
With my best wishes for your success,
Earl Harrison, Ph.D.
Professor and Chair
