Interested in nutrition and health? Consider completing a minor in nutrition.

A minor in nutrition can be beneficial to individuals who are pursuing an undergraduate degree in many health-related fields and preprofessional programs. It may also assist students who are interested in attending graduate or medical school by providing a strong science knowledge base. The minor would benefit students in the hospitality and/or food service industries.

The minor does not allow students to become a registered dietitian, but it provides a strong fundamental knowledge of metabolism and the complex interaction between foods and body systems.
