Nutrition Sciences, Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition
Make nutrition the strength of your healthcare career aspirations. Whether your goal is a career in medicine or becoming an expert in food for health, specializing in nutritional sciences will help you understand metabolism, how nutrients influence health and disease and the potential for a healthy diet to improve lives.
Human Nutrition provides me with a clearer understanding of how the human body works, and how the body utilizes food.
