Hours: 15 credits, all completed with grades of C or better and with a cumulative GPA for all minor course work of 2.5 or better
The minor provides an overview of nutrients, nutrient requirements throughout the life cycle and metabolic regulation of nutritional pathways. A minimum of 15 credits is required and includes four core courses plus one or more electives.
While the minor is open to all students, it is particularly appropriate for biology, microbiology and cell science, and zoology majors — and students who are interested in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.
