 Nutritional Sciences
Nutritional Sciences is the study of the utilization of
nutrients and other dietary components by humans for growth maintenance, and
reproduction, in both normal and disease states. The field of nutritional
sciences requires a strong background in biology, chemistry, physiology and
biochemistry to allow understanding of the mechanisms through which dietary
factors are digested, absorbed, transported, metabolized and used by tissues
and cells. Students majoring in Nutritional Sciences will be well prepared
for health-related careers such as medicine and nursing, as well as for
graduate study in nutritional sciences. The Nutritional Sciences Program
offers significant opportunities for Undergraduate Research.
