  • Nutritional Sciences

    Nutritional sciences integrates knowledge of biological principles to interpret emerging knowledge of cellular and physiological systems. Students' knowledge of biochemical processes and nutrient functions will enable them to interpret effects of changes in nutrient availability on metabolic functions. Students will utilize their knowledge of nutrient requirements, food sources and physiological systems to determine nutrient and dietary needs of individuals in various life-cycle stages and/or with nutrition-related diseases.
