NUTRITION

  APPLIED NUTRITION  |  DIETETICS  |  PUBLIC HEALTH NUTRITION

The B.A. program differs from the B.S. degree in Nutrition in two key ways:

1. It does not require CHEM lab (CHEM 113) or Statistics.
   
   
2. It requires the completion of the Senior Project (NTRN 339), a formal investigation of topic in nutrition. The Senior Project is generally done in the student's senior year, culminating in a paper and oral presentation.
   
   
   This degree offers the opportunity to study the science of nutrition in a more flexible way than the B.S. program. It is particularly well-suited for students who do wish to complete a double major, or who may also be interested in a dual degree program (see Handbook for details about these degree options).
   
   The B.A. in Nutrition is easily combined with majors such as Psychology, Sociology Chemistry, Biology, or Communication Sciences. It will also easily accommodate the requirements of a pre-med curriculum. In addition, this degree integrates seamlessly with courses of study geared toward Journalism, Law, or even Management.
   

Recent projects from NTRN 399 have included:

1. Nutritional implications of "Binge Drinking among College Fraternity Males"
   
   
2. Leptin Receptor Knockout Effects on Skeletal Muscle Long-Chain Acyl-CoA's: Role of Insulin Resistance
