Food and Nutrition Sciences

The nutrition program is recognized locally, regionally and nationally through our quality programs and comprehensive student experiences. We prepare you to be successful nutrition professionals able to apply your knowledge for health and wellness, to serve all ages and cultural groups, individuals and families.
