A minor in nutrition allows students to get a more in-depth understanding of nutritional concepts, adding value to their major field and increasing potential employability. In addition to the general nutrition course, students will take courses exploring nutritional needs at various life stages, issues surrounding body image and weight management, the ways in which nutrition impacts disease, public health nutritional approaches, and cultural aspects of health and nutrition. Students will learn practical application skills, allowing for nutritional integration into their field of study. For many governmental, healthcare, and non-governmental organization employment opportunities, an understanding of nutrition is advantageous in finding employment.
