Nutrition Major, BS in Health and Human Sciences – Community Nutrition Concentration
The Nutrition major is designed for students interested in basic, applied, and community nutrition sciences, and students are able to pursue one of three concentrations: The Biomedical Nutrition Science Concentration, the Community Nutrition Concentration, and the Dietetics Concentration. Each concentration includes a foundation in the basic sciences and introductory nutrition coursework which is built upon through advanced concentration-specific coursework, including nutrient metabolism, nutrition in disease prevention and treatment, elements of community nutrition, and interpretation of nutrition research literature. Students pursuing the Community Nutrition Concentration are trained in competencies needed to become a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and to work in the community in a variety of roles, such as nutrition educators, WIC nutritionists, health and wellness coaches, and worksite wellness program coordinators, and in a variety of settings, such as public health departments, community agencies, and Extension programs. Individuals with CHES certifications are commonly employed in healthcare, government, university, business, community/non-profit, and K-12 education settings. For qualified students, the Department of Nutrition offers a 5-year BS/MS accelerated degree program with a major in Nutrition and a concentration in Community Nutrition. Interested students should see the section of the catalog specific to this program or see the Nutrition program information in the Graduate Catalog. This can lead to the Public Health Minor, but the student must declare it.
