营养科学课程强调基础科学“生物学和化学”，并以此为基础来建立营养科学核心课程。学生将探索最佳的健康状况，疾病状态，人体生理学，新陈代谢以及食物中营养成分/非营养成分之间的复杂关系。该集中度是为寻求学士学位（BS）并在毕业后进入职业前课程的学生而开发的（例如，医学/牙科，职业治疗，物理治疗，药学，医师助理，注册护士或相关健康科学）。
The nutrition science track emphasizes the basic sciencesbiology and chemistryand uses this foundation to build up to the nutrition science core curriculum. Students explore optimal health, disease states, human physiology, metabolism, as well as the complex relationship between nutrients/non-nutrients in foods. This concentration was developed for students seeking a bachelor's degree (BS) to enter pre-professional programs after graduating (E.g., medical/dental, occupational therapy, physical therapy, pharmacy, physician assistant, registered nurse or allied health sciences). However, this track does not lead to a Verification Statement, which is the case with the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD).<br>Related Occupations:<br>Medical and Health Services Manager, Medical Scientist, Except Epidemiologists, Health Specialist Teachers, Post secondary<br>Nursing Instructors and Teachers, Postsecondary, Home Economics Teachers, Postsecondary, Farm and Home Management Advisors
