Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition, Nutrition Sciences

Make nutrition the strength of your healthcare career aspirations.

Whether your goal is a career in medicine or becoming an expert in food for health, specializing in nutritional sciences will help you understand metabolism, how nutrients influence health and disease and the potential for a healthy diet to improve lives.

I chose the Human Nutrition major because I wanted to pursue a career in the health field. I believe nutrition is the backbone for preventative science and, as a major, has the most value in terms of practical knowledge that can be used in daily life when treating patients.
