Students transferring to a non-CSU campus should consult the catalog and determine the specific requirements of the campus to which they are applying. The study of Nutrition provides a broad foundation in a practical and personally applicable exposure to a variety of scientific areas of nutrition, such as Chemistry, Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology and Biology. Students in the program learn how the scientific method and process contributes to nutritional requirements and how nutrients function from a cellular to a more practical level and then apply this knowledge to their own health. This program
will help the student understand the relationship of nutrition and disease prevention throughout the lifecycle.
