20 credit hours required.
The Nutrition Minor will provide students with a basic foundation in community health and an overview of health behaviors, as well as an in-depth examination of nutrition.

This minor is open to all students regardless of major. Students may use (i.e., “double count”) only two courses to fulfill requirements for both the minor and their major.
