This minor is intended for non-dietetics majors to gain insight into their personal nutrition and health outcomes by providing an orientation to food, nutrition, and health. Any interested student may select the minor however, this minor would be most appropriate for students majoring in life science or allied health disciplines. The courses in the Nutrition minor require a science foundation (human anatomy and chemistry) so course prerequisites must be examined before selecting the minor. This minor does not prepare students for prescribing diets for others which is a violation of dietetics licensure law.
