Overview

Students interested in a major in food and nutrition sciences have multiple options of study to best meet their career path goals. Students enrolled in the applied nutrition major choose a concentration: dietetics, culinary, or environmental nutrition. Students interested in a pre-medicine/pre-professional undergraduate experience with a nutrition emphasis choose the nutrition science major. Graduates of either applied nutrition or nutrition science receive a Bachelor of Science degree. Students may also minor in applied nutrition and earn certificates in diabetes and sports nutrition.

*Food and Nutrition Sciences was previously a division in the School of Applied Health Sciences and Wellness (AHSW) within the College of Health Sciences and Professions. Its elevation to department status is anticipated to be approved at the June 2024 Ohio University Board of Trustees meeting.
