Students electing a minor in nutrition must complete 15 credit hours of coursework from the courses listed below (enrollment in other Food and Nutrition courses requires permission of the department chairperson). This minor sequence is recommended for students majoring in the related health disciplines such as Child Development; Family and Consumer Sciences Education; Nursing and Allied Health; Hotel Restaurant and Institutional Management; and Health and Physical Education.

Courses Required for a Nutrition Minor (15 credits total):

• FDNT212 Nutrition (3 credits)
• FDNT213 Life Cycle Nutrition (3 credits)
• FDNT245 Sports Nutrition (3 credits)
• FDNT355 Nutrition in Disease I (3 credits)
• FDNT402 Community Nutrition (3 credits)
  OR

The completion of this minor does NOT meet the requirements for practice as a credentialed nutritionist nor does it satisfy the academic requirements of the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) for The American Dietetic Association for a Registered Dietitian.

Individuals interested in pursuing a Nutrition Minor, or who would like additional information about careers in nutrition, should contact the Food and Nutrition Department Chairperson for advisement and in order to complete necessary paperwork.
