The College of Health and Human Sciences offers an 18-credit-hour minor in Nutrition, Health and Wellness, open to all students regardless of major. It enriches your current plan of study with skills and knowledge you can apply directly in healthcare settings.
Why This Minor
Nutrition and wellness sit underneath nearly every health career. Whether you are heading into a clinical field, working with athletes, planning community programming or moving toward graduate study, this minor gives you the vocabulary and the evidence base to talk about food, behavior and wellbeing with authority.
Because it is open to every major and built largely from upper-division electives you choose yourself, you can aim it at the work you actually want to do rather than following a fixed track.
