The nutritional sciences minor is designed for students who are planning for graduate study in the areas of nutrition to either 1) earn the Registered Dietitian credential or 2) pursue a career in nutrition research. The nutrition minor may also be chosen by students working toward an undergraduate degree in the basic or health sciences that are interested in developing a broad base of nutrition knowledge to supplement their primary career choice.
