Effective during the 14-15 Academic Year
====Nutritional Science, Lower Division B.S.====
PROGRAM:
The Department of Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology offers three undergraduate
specializations: Physiology & Metabolism studies of nutrients from food to
cells, and the many functions of nutrients, including in energy and metabolism
and the generation of internal secretions known as autocoids. Dietetics
prepares students for careers as Registered Dietitians. Molecular
Toxicology focuses on the molecular and physiological effects of natural and
human-made environmental toxins. All three specializations relate food and/or
toxins to human health and disease risk.
PREPARATION FOR TRANSFER AT THE JUNIOR LEVEL:
Transfer applicants must complete the minimum major admissions requirements, and
are encouraged to complete as many additional lower division requirements as
possible. IGETC certification will satisfy Reading & Composition and
humanities/social science breadth requirements for the Nutritional Science
major. For more information contact our Office of Instruction and Student
