Overview

Program Description Understanding nutrition, especially nutritional content, can have a remarkable impact on health. Educating the public about the benefits of nutrition, and the various ways healthy living can improve well-being is the focus of the BS degree in nutritional sciences. The nutritional sciences degree blends biological, chemical, and behavioral sciences to help health professionals, administrators of nutrition and health promotion programs, and the general public better understand and translate the science of food into policy and practice. Nutritionists and nutrition scientists apply their knowledge to help businesses offer employee wellness programs; assist food systems administrators and engineers involved in food innovation and technology; and oversee government programs addressing food insecurity and population health issues. Part of the Wegmans School of Health and Nutrition, the major offers a challenging curriculum that prepares students with an in-depth understanding of nutrition as an important moderator of health. Students are well prepared to apply to professional programs, such as medical school, enter graduate school for further biomedical studies, or provide expertise in nutrition to the general public in a range of diverse settings (e.g., sports fitness programs, hospitality industry, nutrition writing, and federal nutrition programs). An effective nutritional scientist is skilled in working with people to address behavioral issues, teach clients about nutrition and health properties in food, and offer nutrition supervision. The major offers a comprehensive curriculum that provides a solid foundation in nutritional sciences as well as leadership skills that include communication, problem-solving, team dynamics, and interaction with the community.
