COMMUNITY NUTRITION MAJOR

is designed to enable students to develop a thorough
understanding of nutrition and the ability to communicate
those principles to the public. The focus of the major
is achieving and maintaining health, emphasizing changing
nutritional needs throughout life. Graduates work cooperatively
with other professionals in improving the overall health
of individuals and communities. To progress and graduate
in community nutrition, a student must maintain a minimum
grade point average of 2.2 and earn a 'C' or better
