Nutritional Sciences Major
Nutritional Sciences (NUSC) majors study the relationship between food and health. They integrate knowledge of the use of foods and nutrients by cells, individuals, and communities to promote optimal health and treatment of disease. The Department offers three tracks through which students can obtain their Bachelors of Science Degree in Nutritional Sciences.
Non-Nutritional Sciences majors in good academic standing with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 that wish to declare or change their major to Nutritional Sciences can do so at any time during the calendar year.
