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.

A minimum of 20 hours of credit is required of all students seeking the Nutrition minor. Students must earn at least a 2.0 in each course to receive credit for the minor.

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.
