This curriculum allows students to major in nutrition and food science while following a broader program in liberal arts, science, and business. The degree requires a less rigorous background in chemistry and other natural science courses than is required for the B.S. degree in this discipline. Employment opportunities include sales, customer relations, university or school food services, industrial and commercial food service systems, hospitals, nursing homes or extended care food service operations.
The courses offered by this department are designed for students in three distinct groups:
those majoring in nutrition and food science who are interested in entering either the nutrition, the food science and health care professions;
those interested in entering the dietetics field; and
those majoring in nutrition and food science with the intention of entering non-technical positions in a variety of food businesses.
