There are three concentration options in the Nutrition major: Biomedical Nutrition Science, Community Nutrition, and Dietetics. All concentrations include a foundation in basic sciences and introductory nutrition coursework, which is built upon through advanced coursework in nutrition and other concentration-specific courses. For qualified students, all concentrations can lead to completion of both BS and MS degrees in 5 years. The Biomedical Nutrition Science Concentration can serve as a pre-health professions major that prepares students to pursue many different health careers including medical doctor, physician assistant, pharmacist, dentist, optometrist, or physical therapist. Students can also prepare for graduate study and advanced research careers in the biomedical and biological sciences. An advantage of choosing a degree in nutrition for pre-health is that, in addition to chemistry, biology, anatomy, and physiology, students also can choose elective upper-level nutrition courses to explore the role of nutrition in health care, disease prevention and treatment, and biomedical research. A foundational knowledge of nutrition prepares students to become health care providers who effectively integrate lifestyle change approaches into practice for better health outcomes.
