BIOL1215 - 01 - Introduction to Nutrition

(NS) Natural Science (SI) Scientific Inquiry

Introduction to Nutrition provides an understanding of nutritional requirements and the roles of nutrients in body functioning. Students discuss how to design a healthy diet, weight control and physical fitness. Topics include evaluation of food intakes and habits, world food problems and malnutrition, nutrition and health, sustainability, food processing and food safety. Study of major discoveries within nutrition research and the relationship between nutrition and health provides a framework for the focus of this biology course in scientific inquiry. This nutrition course is for non-biology majors; it does not count toward the requirements for a major in biology. This course runs in the Fall for Nursing Majors and runs in the Spring and Summer for Non-Nursing Majors.
