The programs in the Department of Human Nutrition focus on the nutritional and sensory properties of food; on the metabolism of nutrients; on nutrient requirements throughout the life span; on issues related to diet and health; and consumer behavior and nutrition education.
The Department of Human Nutrition offers two programs leading to a bachelor of science degree in human nutrition: nutritional sciences and public health nutrition. In addition the department offers a BS degree program in athletic training.
A dual-degree program in nutrition and kinesiology is offered jointly with the Department of Kinesiology. Students earn a BS in human nutrition and a BS in kinesiology. This is one of the largest programs of its kind in the nation. The public health nutrition program is one of the few in the nation.
Students who want to become registered dietitians must take additional courses to meet the academic requirements of the American Dietetic Association (didactic program in dietetics or DPD). They will then become eligible to apply for an accredited internship. Interested students should contact the DPD program director during the semester they are enrolled in HN 400.
Specialized laboratories for sensory analysis and nutrition research are available for research and instruction. The department has an animal laboratory that is fully accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC). In cooperation with the College of Veterinary Medicine, animals housed and maintained in the laboratory receive veterinary care to comply with the current NIH guidelines. A nutritional assessment laboratory includes facilities for physical and dietary assessments.
