Nutritional Sciences - Dietetics (NS-D) (Major)
Students in the Didactic Training Program in Dietetics track of the Nutritional Sciences (NS-D) major are educated in the experimental biology of metabolic regulation, the impact of genetics on use of dietary constituents, and the interaction among genetics, health/chronic disease and dietary chemicals. This program prepares students to perform research into the relationship between diet and vertebrate development and well-being mechanistically, and/or for health professional careers.
The Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology Department’s Didactic Training Program in Dietetics (NS-D) combines a strong foundation in the biological and chemical sciences with specialized advance course work that focuses on nutrient/non-nutrient function and metabolism. The application of this field informs recommendations for dietary patterns to achieve optimum health and the treatment or prevention of disease conditions as well as food production and safety.
