Nutrition Minor
The Nutrition minor is specifically designed for students who are interested in learning more about one of three specific areas of nutrition, well-being, and preventative health.1Students choose one (1) of the three (3) emphases in the minor:
- Sports Nutrition: exploring the intersections of nutrition, exercise science, and sports conditioning.
- Community Nutrition: exploring the intersections of nutrition, public health, and sociology.
- Food Services: exploring the intersections of food, business, marketing, leadership, and management in the food industry.

While the Nutrition minor does not qualify you to offer nutrition counseling services, our Dietetics major does prepare you to do so.
