Bachelor of Science in Nutrition - Nutrition and Public Health

Nutrition is an integrative science with the overall objective of improving the health and well-being of individuals and groups. Nutritional inquiry encompasses not only the roles of electrons, atoms, molecules, genes, cells, organs, and complex organisms in biological life processes, but also the links between life science and health, behavior, education, population, culture, and economics. Nutrition students receive training at UT in and out of the classroom. They conduct research into nutrient intake and metabolism, nutrient-regulated gene expression, school gardening and nutrition education, growth and development, and child and family health. They study abroad, land internships with work in clinical care, volunteer in community-based organizations, and join research laboratories. Graduates go on to a wide range of careers including research, the pharmaceutical and food industries, healthcare, and education.
Designed to prepare students for entry-level positions at state and other health departments, in research and in industry, this option equips students for entry into graduate programs in nutrition or other public health disciplines at schools of public health, at graduate schools in the biomedical sciences and for entry into medical or other health professional schools as well as for those who pursue health and research careers. This is Nutrition, option 3.
