Nutrition (NTR) is an interdisciplinary field with three primary areas of focus: community nutrition (or public health), food service management, and clinical (medical) nutrition. The Bachelor of Science in Nutrition in the Department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences emphasizes the relationship between diet, nutrition, food access and health status. There are two tracks in the nutrition major: a general B.S. in Nutrition or a B.S. in Nutrition with a specialization in Dietetics.

This nutrition major is ideal for you if you are interested in:

• studying food and nutrition as it affects health
• focusing on community engagement and clinical nutrition practice
• the potential for professional practice in a wide variety of nutrition settings
