The science of nutrition seeks to understand the connections between diet and health, and to use this knowledge to improve the well-being of individuals, communities, and populations. Our undergraduate program spans the breadth of nutrition science from biochemical pathways to community applications to clinical practice through three concentration options: Biomedical Nutrition Science, Community Nutrition, and Dietetics. Each of our concentratio\u00adns equips students with excellent skills in communication, critical thinking, and teamwork, all of which are highly valued by today\u2019s employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested in earning both a BS and MS in an accelerated time frame? All three of our concentrations offer accelerated combined bachelor\u2019s\/master\u2019s degree options that allow qualified students to earn both a BS and MS degree in just five years. These programs save tuition dollars and give students a competitive edge when entering the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use this form<\/a> if you are planning to apply for one of our BS\/MS programs. Generally, this form should be completed by the end of the spring term of the junior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current curricula for all nutrition major concentrations leading to a BS degree in health and human sciences can be found in the undergraduate catalog<\/a> and on the CEHHS Office of Advising and Student Services<\/a> web page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
