  • Nutritional Sciences Minor

    Hours: 15 credits, completed with minimum grades of C and a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA for courses in the minor

    The minor provides an overview of nutrients, nutrient requirements throughout the life cycle and metabolic regulation of nutritional pathways. The courses required include four core courses plus one or more electives.
