营养科学理学学士

营养科学是关于营养素和食物成分如何影响生长，代谢，健康和疾病的研究，还包括与食物选择有关的人类行为。营养科学是一个多领域，跨学科的领域，涵盖化学，生物学，生理学和公共卫生。营养学家致力于通过研究来改善，扩展和应用营养的各个方面，以改善临床实践和公共卫生。营养科学理学学士（BS）任务旨在为大学生提供对食品和营养科学方面的深入了解。该计划还旨在为整合营养科学跨学科奠定基础，并为学生提供将营养应用于健康科学的基础。
Nutrition is the study of how nutrients and food components influence growth, metabolism, health, and disease and also includes human behavior as it relates to food choices and dietary patterns. Nutrition is a multi-faceted and cross-disciplinary field, encompassing chemistry, biology, physiology, psychology, and public health. Nutrition scientists work to develop, extend, and apply all aspects of nutrition through research to improve clinical practice and public health. <br><br>The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Nutrition program mission is to provide undergraduates with an in-depth understanding of the scientific aspects of food and nutrition. The program provides student with a comprehensive foundation in nutrition and lays the groundwork for integrating nutrition across disciplines. The program consists of a common set of core nutrition courses, while also providing students with opportunity to tailor their coursework towards pursuing future schooling and careers in dietetics, medicine and the health sciences, public health nutrition, and nutrition policy.
